​This book provides a new military history of Byzantine emperor
Alexios I Komnenos's campaigns in the Balkans, during the first
fourteen years of his rule. While the tactics and manoeuvres
Alexios used against Robert Guiscard's Normans are relatively
well-known, his strategy in dealing with Pecheneg and Cuman
adversaries in the region has received less attention in historical
scholarship. This book provides a much-need synthesis of these
three closely linked campaigns – often treated as discrete events
– revealing a surprising coherence in Alexios' response, and
explores the position of Byzantium's army and navy on the eve of
the First Crusade.Â
