4.0 out of 5 stars
A good book on an overlooked subject.,
By Tom Speight (tspeight@anselm.edu) (Manchester, NH, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Days of the Warlords (Paperback)
This short but very good book is a summary and analysis of mostly internal events in the Byzantine Empire. The main subject is the rise to dominance of the Phokas and Skleros "warrior families," who came to dominate the command positions Empire's army during this, the military apogee of the Empire. The book is fairly concise, though it is a little thin on background details and context, making it most suitable for someone who knows what's going on already. Ostrogorsky's "History of the Byzantine State" can fill in any holes here, though. The in-depth analysis is very good. All in all, a very good book on an often-overlooked period of history.
