(What is this?)Product Description
Product Description
It is Britain, AD 60. Three Roman towns are in ashes and thousands lie dead. With her new allies, the Trinovantes and the Catuvellauni, Boudica and the Iceni march defiantly towards their enemy. They seek one last pivotal victory to drive the Romans from their land forever. Not far away the Roman governor, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus awaits them. His ground chosen, his strategy decided, his small force awaits the great native army. If his strategy is sound they will prevail, if not they will be massacred, losing the province forever. Is it really revenge Boudica wants for the vile humiliations the Romans heaped on her? Or is she playing for much higher stakes? And Paulinus, can he defeat the odds to win the day? To answer these questions, this book will re examine events from a fresh, tactical perspective and produce a clearer picture of a revolt crushed on a newly suggested battle site, offering a new interpretation of a battle that decided 2000 years of Britain's cultural heritage.
From the Author
A reviewer correctly points out that Hannibal died in Asia Minor - Bythinia to be precise. My concern as the author was therefore to identify how the error came about.
Having checked the original manuscript, the publishers proofs and the book itself, I have been able to establish that this was a typesetting error. There is evidence to support this in the index of my book, which advises that a reference to Bythinia can be found on P 194. However, Bythinia does not subsequently appear in the text of that page, although the erroneous reference to Hannibal does.
The error will therefore be corrected in any future print runs.
The title was written to appeal to as broad a readership as possible, i have therefore avoided the use of footnotes and citations in order to allow the writing to flow more freely.
All of the reference material used can be found in the 'bibliography and further reading' section of the book.
It may also assist new readers to confirm that the aim of this book is to refresh the debate on the Boudican revolt and provide an alternative viewpoint. This has been done by offering speculation, based on the tactical options open to the protagonists and by reference to historical texts, previously presented archaeological evidence and any new evidence where avaialabe. This includes the use of the most recent excavation reports on projects where there is a clear link to the revolt.
Finally, i would like to confirm that this work was never intended to definitively explain what did happen during the Boudican revolt. It merely offers an alternative interpretation as to what could have happened, by approaching the issue from a previously unexplored angle and then allowing the reader to draw their own conclusions.
