The longest-lived Christian political entity in history, the Byzantine Empire dominated the world for more than 1,100 years. In his brilliantly conceived 3-volume narrative, Norwich superbly captures the theological passions, court intrigue, military conflicts, and powerful personalities that contributed to the glory of Byzantium. Includes color and black-and-white photographs, maps, and family trees. 1284 pages total, three hardcovers from Knopf.
