This classic book tells the dramatic story of the last centuries of the Greek Empire. Beginning with the occupation of Constantinople by Western Crusaders in 1204, the account traces the ebb and flow of Byzantium in its final stages, with disastrous civil wars, dynastic struggles, and the advance of a seemingly unstoppable enemy. The last days of the siege are poignantly recounted, including the death of the last Byzantine emperor, who fought shoulder to shoulder with his people to the very last. This edition, published in 2014, has been extensively edited, updated, and footnoted. While the book still relies heavily on primary and contemporary sources, the languages have been standardized and translations have been provided where necessary. This is the only version of the book currently on the market that is not a photocopy reprint of the 1903 edition. The result is an accessible, easily readable, yet detailed look at late Byzantine history perfect for the modern audience.
