The author of Vandal Heaven is a talented explainer, with a masterful command of a wide range historical sources. As the capital of the Vandal kingdom, Carthage repeatedly defeated costly Roman seaborne expeditions to recapture it. The fall of Carthage to Belisarius in 534 spelled the doom of Vandal North Africa. Readers who lack a background in ancient history will find Vandal Heaven entirely understandable, but even specialists with a deep understanding of the subject will read it with enjoyment. ---///---Note: Vandal Heaven is also available in e-editions.
