"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 III and IV of the eight-volume
History of the Wars, Procopius tells the story of the Vandalic War
between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Vandals in North Africa.
Journeying by land and sea, Procopius regales us with vivid tales
of battleincluding the capture of Carthage, the famous ancient city
and the Vandal capital at the timeand of the intrigues and power
struggles that dogged the emperor. 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."
