Description
The Byzantine World War by Nick Holmes explores a pivotal moment in history that has been overlooked. At its centre was the ancient empire of Byzantium, which played a crucial role in shaping the course of the Crusades. Holmes presents a fresh perspective on this period, shedding new light on the fall of Byzantium and the First Crusade. He argues that the success of the First Crusade was largely accidental, and that the significance of Byzantium in the Crusades has been underestimated. By examining three key events - the fall of Byzantium, the First Crusade, and the origins of modern Turkey - Holmes offers a comprehensive understanding of this complex period in history.
