A trusted member of the Byzantine establishment, Procopius was

the Empire's official chronicler, and his "History of the Wars of

Justinian" proclaimed the strength and wisdom of the Emperor's

reign. Yet all the while the dutiful scribe was working on a very

different - and dangerous - history to be published only once its

author was safely in his grave. "The Secret History" portrays the

'great lawgiver' Justinian as a rampant king of corruption and

tyranny, the Empress Theodora as a sorceress and whore, and the

brilliant general Belisarius as the pliable dupe of his scheming

wife Antonina. Magnificently hyperbolic and highly opinionated,

"The Secret History" is a work of explosive energy, depicting holy

Byzantium as a hell of murder and misrule.
