No other book on Byzantium manages to pack so much useful information into so few pages.’
-Jonathan Harris, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK.
Now published in the Bloomsbury Revelations series, this edition marks the 25th anniversary of this classic text, featuring a brand new preface from the author. Offering a concise overview of the broad and complex history of Byzantium, Warren Treadgold examines the causes behind Byzantium’s successes, failures, and remarkable longevity. Spanning twelve centuries and three continents, Byzantium linked the ancient and modern world, shaping and transmitting Greek, Roman and Christian traditions that survive today. Approachable and highly readable, A Concise History of Byzantium covers Byzantine political leadership, military strategy, cultural attitudes, and social, institutional, and demographic changes.
