Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. By the middle of the sixth century the Byzantine emperor ruled a mighty empire that straddled Europe, Asia and North Africa. Within 100 years, this powerful empire had been cut in half. Two centuries later the Byzantine empire was once again a power to be reckoned with, and soon recovered its position as the paramount East Mediterranean and Balkan power, whose fabulous wealth attracted Viking mercenaries and central Asian nomad warriors to its armies, whose very appearance on the field of battle was sometimes enough to bring enemies to terms. No book has ever attempted a survey of Byzantine wars, and few accounts of Byzantine battles have ever been translated into a modern language. This book will provide essential support for those interested in Byzantine history in general as well as a useful corrective to the more usual highly romanticised views of Byzantine civilisation. Described by History Today magazine as compelling, The Byzantine Wars provides an invaluable survey of the wars between Byzantium and its numerous foes - the Goths, Arabs, Slavs, Crusaders and Ottoman Turks.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The remarkable 1,000- year history of one of the world's greatest and most misunderstood empires. The Byzantine Empire was one of the longest-surviving empires in world history, spanning nine centuries and three continents. It originated as the eastern half of the mighty Roman Empire, and established its centre at Constantinople, a glittering capital straddling the frontier of Europe and Asia. From the outset, Byzantium was surrounded by potential enemies. Persians, Arabs and Ottoman Turks in the east, Slavs and Bulgars in the north, Saracens and Normans in the west; all vied to control the rich empire of the Bosphorus. John Haldon's comprehensive short history tracks the chequered past of an historical enigma, a 'lost empire' which stood for a thousand years against the might of Islam and which preserved and transmitted the literary and linguistic heritage of ancient Greece and Rome. He tells the story of the cycle of conquest and reconquest of its lands and finally its complete destruction by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. AUTHOR: John Haldon is Professor of Byzantine History at Princeton University. He is widely acknowledged to be one of the world's leading experts on Byzantine history and his other books include Byzantium in the Iconoclast Era: A History. Born in Britain, he now lives in Princeton, New Jersey. 40 colour, 69 b/w illustrations The remarkable 1,000-year history of one of the world's greatest and most misunderstood empires Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
