Secret History : with Related Texts (Hackett Classics) -- Paperback / softback

By exposing the perversion, repression, corruption, and injustice at the heart of Justinian's regime, Prokopios' "The Secret History" destroyed forever that emperor's reputation as the great and benevolent ruler of a vast Byzantine state. In this title, Prokopios' tell-all is faithfully rendered in blunt and idiomatic English.
