The Byzantine Empire's disastrous defeat by the Seljuk Turks at Manzikert in 1071 effectively marked the end of what is often described as the 'middle' period of Byzantine history. Thereafter, surrounded on all sides by younger, more vigorous nations, the once all-powerful Empire slipped into a steady decline which, ultimately, was to prove terminal. However, the Empire's demise was anything but peaceful, and, one way or another, for much of the last four centuries of its existence it was to find itself in a state of virtually constant war. This book examines the fascinating history of the Byzantine Empire and its armies from 1118-1461 AD.

Summary: Later Byzantine Armies
Comment: Usual great text and plates, and the usual immensely useful at-a-glance timeline towards the front of the book. The plates alone capture how far the Byzantine Empire had fallen, ultimately from its Roman past, but even from its pre-Manzikert ancestors. The army consisted almost entirely of Nomad and European mercenaries. This book goes through the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Ottoman Turks to the last eight years of a surviving Byzantine state, the 'Empire' of Trebizond, which finally fell to the Ottomans in August of 1461.

Summary: Osprey is the cliff notes to history
Comment: Osprey has done it again. These guys are the masters of finding good pictures to print in their books. I find the time lines they put in their books a invaluable resource. About the only dissapointment i find in these books is the lack of color when they show the actual plates. The source materials are good also. They find information in a varied assortment of histories and have a complete bibliography at the end. Good book, as expected.
