| | 1. |  | A Short History of Byzantium
from Vintage
Price: $8.98
Customer Review:
Byzantine history is, like the very word's now-definition, both complicated and slippery. John J. Norwich, however, did history a very great service when he devoted his academic life to the neglected history of this remarkable culture and long-lived empire. This book is, essentially, the "abridged"... more info

| | 3. |  | The Oxford History of Byzantium
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $18.00
Customer Review:
In spite of Byzantium finally getting its fair share of attention among historians over the last century, good single-volume introductions to the empire are few.

| | 10. |  | Byzantium: An Illustrated History
from Hippocrene Books
Price: $4.12
Customer Review:
I am an avid follower of Byzantine history, and have just begun reading the book (hence my rating is tentative). I appreciate the level of language--it is not overly technical. Mr. McLachlan does a nice job at the outset of his description of the Arian problem, but here's where the problem comes in.... more info
