A military history of the campaigns of Flavius Belisarius, the
greatest general of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Emperor Justinian.
Back in the 6th century, Belisarius twice defeated the Persians and
reconquered North Africa from the Vandals in a single year at the age
of 29, before going on to regain Spain and Italy, including Rome
(briefly), from the barbarians. This book discusses the evolution from
classical Roman to Byzantine armies and systems of warfare, as well as
those of their chief enemies: the Persians, Goths, and Vandals.
Belisarius: The Last Roman General reassesses Belisarius’s
generalship and compares him with the likes of Caesar, Alexander, and
Hannibal. It is also illustrated with line drawings and battle plans
as well as photographs.
