About this product
Product Information
Byzantium was the last bastion of the Roman Empire following the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It fought for survival for eight centuries until, in the mid-15th century, the emperor Constantine XI ruled just a handful of whittled down territories, an empire in name and tradition only. This lavishly illustrated book chronicles the history of Byzantium, the evolution of the defenses of Constantinople and the epic siege of the city, which saw a force of 80,000 men repelled by a small group of determined defenders until the Turks smashed the city's protective walls with artillery. Regarded by some as the tragic end of the Roman Empire, and by others as the belated suppression of an aging relic by an ambitious young state, the impact of the capitulation of the city resonated through the centuries and heralded the rapid rise of the Islamic Ottoman Empire.

Reviews
"This very attractive book provides a good introduction to the Byzantine Empire, its army, and the defenses of Constantinople, along with a relatively brief description of the siege of 1453, where the Sultan's use of massive cannon may well have been the key factor in the fall of the city. Anyone with an interest in this period who does not already own this Osprey volume will appreciate this bargain." -Bolling Smith,The Coast Defense Journal(August 2007) "...readers will not be disappointed by the books comprehensive text." -The Traveler "The Fall of Constantinopleis a pick for any collection strong in early history, particularly of the Roman Empire era. It follows the fall of the Roman Empire in general and Byzantium's eight-century struggle for survival... It's a powerful survey not to be missed." -The Midwest Book Review "The Fall of Constantinopleis a lavishly illustrated work complete with full color artwork, photographs of ancient sites and artifacts, and detailed maps and diagrams. It provides and absorbing chronicle of the ultimate destruction of the greatest empire in Western history. Three renowned chroniclers of the medieval world narrate the celebrated siege of Constantinople which marked the final collapse of the Roman Empire.

Excellent seller -- good communication, item exactly as described, reasonably priced, well packed. Seller shipped immediately but the book took over half a month to arrive, due to the carrier used on the first leg, to get the package to USPS.
