About this listen
Cannae, 216 BC - Under a blisteringly hot sun, Hannibal Barca, perhaps the most skilful general in history, leads his army against the unstoppable might of Rome. His soldiers are outnumbered two to one.
The momentous battle will determine the Roman Republic's fate.
By the day's end, tens of thousands of men will be dead, the ground saturated in blood. Can Hannibal's army defeat the Roman legions, or will the challenge for the great general prove too much?
Recounted by soldiers on both sides, Ben Kane's historical epic Cannae brings the ancient battle to life as never before. Its cinematic, edge-of-the-seat action will drag readers into the midst of the fear, madness and brutality of Cannae, one of the bloodiest and most-studied battles in history.
Cannae: The Longest Day is the culmination of a 2 year first-in-its-kind project - an audio project jointly conceived by Orion Fiction, Audio and bestselling historical fiction author Ben Kane. This rich, immersive production throws readers into the frontlines of the battle as it features music, sound-design and exclusive effects recorded on location with recreation group Park in the Past.
