DOWNLOAD EBOOKA 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSuffering invasions, riots, and hunger, the decaying Roman Empire staggers against its most ancient enemy - Persia. Undefeated in over a century, the Shahanshah's vast armies cross the Tigris, hungry to reclaim lands that had once been the jewel of their heritage. Driving Persia's invasion are the vaunted Immortals, an elite band of Persian warriors unmatched in prowess.Set against them are the undermanned and ill-equipped forces of Flavius Belisarius. Reeling from a pyrrhic triumph in Tauris, the Roman armies draw upon barbarian tribes and untested recruits to defend the Empire's rich Mesopotamian provinces. Ordered to join them is Varus, a young Herulian freedman with little more than broken armor, an oath sworn servant, and a mysterious connection to the Imperial Palace.Though defeat is all but certain, the Emperor's Legate insists upon one course of action - cede not a grain of Roman territory, no matter the cost in lives or gold. Wary but loyal, Belisarius' patchwork forces fight their way to Dara, a distant fortress-city along the Empire's borders. Yet Persia's commanders also have their designs upon Dara, eager to reclaim lands lost by their forebears centuries prior. For Belisarius and Varus, resisting the Persian assault is not only a matter of personal survival, but shall determine the very fate of a failing Roman Empire.
