Summary
If you want to discover captivating stories of people and events of the Byzantine Empire then keep reading....
The Byzantine Empire was founded during the chaotic third century. It was the time when revolts and civil wars were common, and Roman emperors merely lasted for a year. Despite being one of the most captivating historical periods of all time, the Byzantine Empire is a lesser known one, and it's rare to find an exciting resource on the topic.
But that is about to change. In this new captivating history audiobook, you will:
- Explore a story of power and glory, anarchy and order, paganism and Christianity, war and peace, the West and the East
- Get familiar with the roots of the greatest controversies that defined the history of Europe and the entirety of Western civilization - the conflict between the Catholic and Orthodox churches, and the one between Christianity and Islam
- Discover stories of remarkable emperors you’ve never heard of and about the astonishing bravery of Graeco-Roman heroes such as Constantine Dragases, who resisted the Ottomans until the end, and Belisarius, who fought the Persians to reconquer what used to be the Western Empire
- Learn more about the entire era called the Byzantine Empire in less time compared to studying boring textbooks
All this and much more awaits you, so get instant access now by downloading now!

tough history
This a nice book about the Byzantine Empire. It is less a straight forward history book than a series of essays on various aspects of Byzantine life. I found it interesting and easy to understand.

Best book!
The overriding takeaway I have is that, for all of mankind’s so-called progress and diversity on various levels, our fundamental social interactions and striving have not changed all that much since antiquity.

Amazing History
The author has a breezy style that entertains while still imparting competent material on a much misunderstood time in history. I am beginning to really understand why and how Constantinople and the Byzantine Empire are so important to understand civilization after the fall of Rome. Great work!

Solid basic foundation
It opens to our view an important history of the West that is typically hardly touched on in most historical accounts. It is well written and is easy to understand but oddly, it's not a compelling read that you can't put down. Nevertheless, it is interesting and quite informative.

Next level
The book is fun and light. You certainly won't feel like you really know Byzantine history just from this book, but that's not the point.

A good look at history
Each lecture is 30 minutes in length and overs a distinct and yet interlocking topic. The lectures precede in chronological order, which makes it very easy to follow. Extremely well done.

MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I love books like this--fast and light reading! If you only have a few minutes to spend at a time or get several interruptions whilst trying to get knowledge simply like snippets of knowledge at a time, then this is a book you'll enjoy. There is quite a bit to learn--history told in an engaging manner.
