from Crown
Price: $14.07

Customer Review:
To read a well told history of Byzantium is to weep with despair. In no other history are mortal arrogance, incompetence and greed interwoven so prevalently with imperial triumph, grandeur and civilization. Byzantine warp and weft gave us the threads we still wear to clothe our laws, religions and... more info

James Reston, Jr. takes this very complex material and brings it to life. This is a totally engrossing book. It helped me to understand this period of history in a way I had not before.

from Basic Books
Price: $9.90

Customer Review:
The book by Roger Crowley 'Empires of the Sea' is vastly superior in the style , focus, depth and narration than this book.
This author tries to cover too many events and a vast geography but mostly he just regurgitates various event in non-linear (time) and staid fashion. Also, unlike Roger... more info

from NAL Trade
Price: $3.20

Customer Review:
Tillman's book on the Marianas Turkey Shoot has great research and great details. It covers the massive air sea battle that marked the end of Imperial Japan's naval aviator forces and I just didn't like the writing style.
Tillman assumes a strange level of knowledge by the reader. For example... more info

Customer Review:
I made the mistake of judging this book by its cover. In this case, it was the most interesting thing about the book.

from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
Of the few primary sources on the early Byzantine Empire, Procopius' account of the reign of Justinian and Theodora is more "tell-all scandal sheet" than a document of reliable historical significance. Why Procopius was so venemous remains a mystery (for a time he enjoyed the good graces of the... more info

I highly recommend this translation of Joinville and Villehardouin.
The translator has taken care to translate these works into lucid, contemporary language without dumbing down the writing. Her work has paid off, providing a readable and lively edition still suitable for scholarly review.more info
