Byzantine Empire

The Byzantine Empire -- the surviving eastern portion of the Roman Empire -- spanned the Middle Ages, during much of which time it was the dominant European power. The empire was both a storehouse of ancient classical writing and a defender of Europe against invasion from Asia and the Middle East. This volume tells the story of the Byzantine people, their wars, their conquests, their intrigues, and their accomplishments.Corrick, James A. is the author of 'Byzantine Empire ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781590188378 and ISBN 1590188373.
