In this book, Richard Miles discusses the rise of Carthage as a power in the Mediterranean and its struggle with Rome. The book details the history from the first beginnings of Carthage through all three Punic Wars, and finally Rome emerging as the dominant power in the region. The title comes from something Cato, a famous Roman orator, ended his speeches with during the Punic Wars, “Carthage must be destroyed.” It is written in a very matter-of-fact, historical view on the matter, and was obviously well researched. I found it to be a useful account of the darkest hour of the Roman Republic, and would recommend it to anyone working on anything involving Carthage.
Although it is not written about Scipio, the information in the book provides great context for the Carthaginian civilization and the conflict leading up to Scipio’s involvement.

This is the works cited for an essay on Scipio Africanus. I would advise doing some additional research as well. I can vouch for the validity of all of these
