This is a history of the wars between Byzantium and its numerous
foes, among them the Goths, Arabs, Slavs, Crusaders, and Ottoman
Turks. By the middle of the 6th 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 that soon recovered its position as the paramount
East Mediterranean and Balkan power, an empire 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. This book
provides essential support for those interested in Byzantine
history in general as well as a useful corrective to the more usual
highly romanticized views of Byzantine civilization.
