The audio book I'd recommend for this episode is Hannibal,

One Man Against Rome by Harold Lamb.

This book recounts the life of the great Carthaginian general Hannibal Barca, a man who so thoroughly frightened

the Romans that his military genius necessitated the development of the Fabian strategy.
