"The last major ancient historian, Byzantine scholar PROCOPIUS OF
CAESAREA (c. 500565) traveled with the army of Eastern Roman
Emperor Justinian I as a military adviser, and chronicled the wars
he foughtthis is the primary source today of information about the
reign of Justinian I. Here, in Books I and II of the eight-volume
History of the Wars, Procopius recounts the Persian War between
Justinian and the Persian Empire, a fascinating retelling that
includes extensive details of geography and thorough accounts of
battles, political intrigues, and interpersonal dramas. Far from
dry, this is a thrilling read, one that echoes of this still
turbulent region today. Students of the history of the Middle East
will be enthralled by this ancient work."
