About this book:

'Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!' supposedly yelled Augustus Caesar
when he received the news of the disaster in the Teutoburg Forest. One of the
greatest military disasters of the Roman Empire, Teutoburg Forest witnessed the
near-total annihilation of three Roman legions at the hands of the German
barbarians led by their Roman-educated chief Arminius. Michael McNally tells the
complete story of the disaster, supported by the incredible artwork of Peter
Dennis.
