Overall, Warfare in Late Byzantium is an excellent study of warfare in the Byzantine Empire and well worth considering. Two maps are included and are very detailed. One might have wished for a couple of battle maps, or perhaps a more detailed one for Constantinople, although the latter is easily accessible on the internet. With the exception of one part in the chapter on tactics, the books suffers from no serious issues and fills a major lacuna in our understanding of medieval military history. Gehört zur ReiheHistory of Warfare (67)
This book examines Byzantine attitudes towards warfare at a time of crisis when the empire ceased to be a first rate power in the Mediterranean. It investigates the correspondence between official rhetoric and propaganda, on the one hand, and military realities, on the other. It explores the military ethos of the late Byzantine aristocracy and examines Byzantine perceptions of military leadership in comparison to contemporary western European military thinking. The organisation and nature of military operations and the role of the various groups of soldiers are explored to set Byzantine warfare in the wider geographical and cultural context. In addition, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the influences other medieval cultures exerted on Byzantine military thought, organisation and practice.
