A new book about Belisarius!

[Sean Manning]

Ian,

Although it is not completely finalized (which is why it is not on Amazon) you can give them a preview of what the jacket will almost certainly look like (the mosaic-based one) - I can't work out how to post it here, but I'm sure you will be able to.

And I can confirm that there will be 27 maps, 18 tactical battle diagrams, 15 other b/w line drawings and 33 plates in the plate section (including 6 excellent specially-comissioned drawings of troop types).

All the best

I'm glad to hear that! One of my gripes with many military historians is that they fail to include clear maps showing every significant place (or even most of the significant places) they mention.
