While reading this book, there were times when I wanted to learn more about the cultural shifts, the changes in languages and art and philosophy and science of what is called the Byzantine Empire. I am not staying this isn't attended to, but it is glossed over a bit. Still, Brownworth offers a clear explication of the basic political and military struggles that go on during this period and he has a fine eye for the sensational aspects of this period, which I have to admit, I like reading about. Lots of great footnotes. I have read several books on the history of Rome by Anthony Everitt, but this is only half of the story of the Roman Empire; the other half took place in Constantinople and I have a deeper appreciation and understanding for this now. When I hear people talk about how interesting Game of Thrones is, I can now counter with this idea; any three chapters in this book have more going on in them than all of the Game of Thrones. History is much more interesting than fiction.
I've read several books on the history of the Byzantine Empire including Norwich's 3 volume opus. I would describe this book as more of a popular history than seriously academic. Not that it isn't well researched but more in its writing style which is in no way dry, but in fact very lively and engaging. This is history as it should be written in my opinion. It tells you the story, gives you the facts, and doesn't clobber you over the head with some hidden agenda like so many histories tend to do these days. The title and subtitle are strong, and present a very interesting hypothesis, however the contents of the book I found to only tangentially address this topic. It is more a fast moving and engaging survey of the length and breadth of Byzantine history.I would recommend this book for anyone who has an interest in Byzantine History, Early Christian Church History and/or the background for much of what we now see in the Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean. I look forward to reading other books by Brownworth.
Lars Brownworth has given us an excellent general account of the Byzantine Empire stretching from it's foundations at the permanent division of the Roman Empire under Diocletian and the city's founding by Constantine all the way to the final taking of the city by the Muslim Turks.I have to say that the author did a really good job of presenting the reader with the essentials of the history of Byzantium. This book is meant to present the reader with the major periods, rulers, conflicts, religious concepts and architecture of what we know as the Eastern Roman Empire. The author certainly hits the "high points" well without burdening the general reader with lists of emperors, battles and patriarchs.This is a book written for the general reader unacquainted with the later Roman Empire in the east and how it continued to survive and even thrive for a millennium after Rome itself "fell" and the last western emperor was removed from the throne. There's so much that the author covers from religion to military history that I was pleasantly surprised he was able to do it in an enjoyable fashion that never bored me with too many dates, battles, or emperors.Instead, the author covers the emperors that were important and ruled during times of success or failure that changed history, religious questions that divided the empire and battles that stand out as decisive in the long-term. Having read more in-depth works on Byzantine warfare, I think the author effectively balances giving the reader enough detail while keeping a focus on the big picture.I think the author made it an enjoyable read that kept me wanting to get to that next chapter on break or after work. This is something I value highly - not simply the knowledge to write on a subject, but also the writing ability to make that knowledge readable for the buyer. Even though I have already read other works about the Byzantine Empire, I enjoyed this work and learned more than I thought I would. This is a five-star book that I recommend to anyone interested in the other Roman Empire.
“Lost to the West†is an absorbing narrative history in the spirit of Tom Holland’s “Persian Fire†and “Rubicon,†but much better written. In Lars Brownworth’s book, one will find additional context and details for many of the familiar names and concepts related to the Byzantine Empire, including Diocletian, Constantine, Justinian and Theodora, plague, the Hagia Sophia, the rise of Islam, iconoclasm, the East-West Schism, Venice’s trading concessions and the Crusades. But the book also introduces the reader to some less familiar names and ideas, such as Julian the Apostate, Belisarius, Heraclius, the empress Irene, Krum, Basil I the Macedonian and Bohemond. Brownworth is an enthralling storyteller, and the maps, bibliography and chronology of emperors are all very useful.Although I can highly recommend Brownworth’s book, I feel there is some room for improvement. I would have liked a longer book with more details -- 300 pages is a bit short for a thousand year period. Also, the book focused primarily on conventional political and military history, and I would have liked more information on day-to-day life, how did the people live, what were the social classes like, what was commerce like, what did the people wear and eat. For example, there was little discussion of eunuchs or of the Byzantine administrative structure. Those minor concerns notwithstanding, I am very happy to have found this book and found it informative and engaging.
