		It’s number 23 on the author’s list, and interestingly the author interprets the battle not as a military victory for Hannibal, but as a political and social victory for the Romans and their allies, who galvanized by the defeat, ultimately forged the Roman Empire out of the ashes of their loss.
		One such is the battle of Diu (Number six on the author’s list, in 1509 AD), wherein the Portuguese defeated a Turkish and Egyptian fleet on the Indian Ocean.
		Battles described in the book have clear descriptions of the political events that lead to their engagement and why they were decisive.
