Warren Treadgold is Professor of Late Ancient and Byzantine History at Saint Louis University, USA.
This book is not only the obvious first choice for all who wish to
be initiated in Byzantine history and civilization, but also a
profitable read and a model of scholarship for novice and
accomplished Byzantinists alike.
*Sviatoslav Dmitriev, Ball State University, USA*
The great merit of this book is that it is exactly what it says it
is in the title: concise. No other book on Byzantium manages to
pack so much useful information into so few pages.
