An engrossing chronicle of the Fourth Crusade and the fall of the
Holy Roman Empire, from the bestselling author of Thermopylae. At
the dawn of the thirteenth century, Constantinople stood as the
bastion of Christianity in Eastern Europe. The capital city of the
Byzantine Empire, it was a center of art, culture, and commerce
that had commanded trading routes between Asia, Russia, and Europe
for hundreds of years. But in 1204, the city suffered a devastating
attack that would spell the end of the Holy Roman Empire. The army
of the Fourth Crusade had set out to reclaim Jerusalem, but under
the sway of their Venetian patrons, the crusaders diverted from
their path in order to lay siege to Constantinople. With
longstanding tensions between the Roman Catholic and Eastern
Orthodox churches, the crusaders set arms against their Christian
neighbors, destroying a vital alliance between Eastern and Western
Rome. In The Great Betrayal, historian Ernle Bradford brings to
life this powerful tale of envy and greed, demonstrating the
far-reaching consequences this siege would have across Europe for
centuries to come.
