An excellent read though somewhat questionable in its historical accuracy is the Robert Grave’s novel “Count Belisarius”.

Perhaps the greatest and least known general of late antiquity.

An excellent read though somewhat questionable in its historical accuracy is the Robert Grave’s novel “Count Belisarius”.

Count Belisarius is a good book and close to the history, but lacking to the extent that Graves couldn't bring himself to explore the religious dimensions of the man's life--and if you read Procopius, they're pretty obvious even though Procopius himself was a strictly classicizing (that is, secular) historian.
