Looking for a good biography on Hannibal...

[tbl]

I've found around 10-20 from my local library, but I'm looking for a known good one. I know there are some history buffs around here so hook me up...

I've read several on Hannibal and the first one, and I guess the one that got me hooked was: "Hannibal" by: Ernle Bradford

It's still probably my favorite.

Born John Smith, the man known as Hannibal was a Lieutenant Colonel with the United States Army, serving honorably in the Korean conflict, and serving in the Vietnam war up until his unit, an elite special forces group consisting of three other highly trained specialists, were charged with a crime they did not commit, the heist of the Bank of Hanoi and the murder of their then commanding officer, Colonel Morrison.

The Smith family, a proud tradition of serving our nation's armed forces

Escaping unjust prosecution with the fellows of his unit, Lieutenant Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith went underground, marked for arrest by the United States Army, dodging pursuit at every corner. It took the Lt. Colonel to the farthest reaches of the country, until finally, his awareness that his service doesn't end with the removal of the uniform, came to the forefront. He reached out to his former unit and restored ties once broken by mismanaged justice.

Bringing the unit together once again, consisting of strongman and expert wrench-turner Sgt. Bosco "B.A." Baracus, scrounger and con-man extraordinaire Lieutenant Templeton "Face" Peck, and pilot and certifiable maniac Capt. H.M. "Howlin' Mad" Murdock, the former Operational Detatchment Alpha team (known as the "A-Team") found solace with each other, found protection in numbers, and found a cause in the fight against injustice. Their skills were needed. All the parts were in place. All the tools were available. The only thing left was the direction of Lt. Colonel Smith.

The team reunited!

Just remember, these soldiers of fortune still remain in hiding to this day. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.

I'm having an old friend for dinner.

There is probably more written about Scipio Africanus, the Roman general who whipped Hannibal, than Hannibal himself. See, the victors write the history.

I don't remember that part of the movie.
