Description

Belisarius: The Last Roman General explores the remarkable military campaigns of Belisarius, one of history's greatest generals. At just 29 years old, he achieved two stunning victories against the Persians and reconquered North Africa from the Vandals in a single year.

This book reassesses Belisarius' generalship, comparing him to legendary figures such as Caesar, Alexander, and Hannibal. It also examines the evolution of Roman and Byzantine armies, as well as those of their enemies, the Persians, Goths, and Vandals.

With line drawings, battle plans, and photographs, Belisarius: The Last Roman General provides a detailed and engaging look at one of history's most fascinating figures.
