If you love first person history, you’re gonna love I mean absolutely love this book.

Precipitous of Ceasarea accompanied Belisarius during the Justinian wars.

This is a comprehensive account and besides the battles shows the reader what a plague was like. It also covers the recovery of the Temple treasures from the Vandals who took them from Rome hwo took them from Jerusalem. Good well written read as well. Procopius was there during the attacks on the Vandals.

This is a key primary source for a vital period of history. The author, Procopius, was there for much of it, as the main aide to the great general Belisarius, who won outstanding victories protecting the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Empire from the Empire's chief rival in the east and reclaiming lost imperial lands in North Africa and Italy, including Rome itself. This book is the English translation in one volume (of 712 pages) of a substantial historical work written by a highly literate author, who was in a position to know what happened. This book is highly recommended.
