A concise and comprehensive guide to the Byzantine empire from Constantine to its dissolution. Foord explores in an accessible manner why it was important to history, the significance of noteworthy events, and how it eventually fell. While sometimes describing the experience of the everyday people, he mainly focuses on the wars and policies of Byzantine emperors. (Summary by Elsie Selwyn) (14 hr 32 min)

Reseñas

wonderful detail and clear speech


(5 stars)

Edward Foord in 1911 published this enormously detailed unbiased description of the empire from beginning to its end in 1453. I was hooked throughout.
