• Armstrong, Donald, The Reluctant Warriors, Thomas Y. Crowell Company, New York, 1966. Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 66-22415.
  Although it may have an axe to grind, don't pass this one up. Written by a Brigadier General, it has some of the best analysis of the 3rd Punic War as well as the clearest and most detailed maps.
• Aubet, Maria Eugenia, The Phoenicians and the West: Politics, Colonies and Trade (1996)
  The Spanish author goes into more depth than anyone on the details of trade, trade routes and everything else. Even dives into the rarely discussed topic of currents within the Mediterranean. The maps are very good. There is even one showing which parts of the Mediterranean are beyond the sight of land, a tricky problem when one considers hills and mountains. Origins of names including Phoenicians are discussed. Best of all is the detail on the nature of the Phoenician colonies, their dates and purposes. There are a few translation problems, such as when the Barcids are called the Barcidas, but they are minor. 2001 Revised Edition reflects the latest archaeological findings. Chapters: (1) Who were the Phoenicians? (2) Phoenica during the Iron Age (3) The bases for the expansion in the Mediterranean (4) Phoenician trade: exchange mechanisms and organization (5) The great political institutions: the palace and the temple (6) The routes of Phoenician expansion into the Mediterranean (7) The Phoenicians in the west: chronology and historiography (8) The Phoenician colonies in the central Mediterranean (9) The colonies of the far west: Gadir and the silver trade (10) Concluding thoughts (I) Phoenician Iron Age archaeology (II) The Journey of Wen-Amon to Phoenicia (III) Oracles against Tyre (IV) The settlements of the central Mediterranean
