Warfare, State And Society In The Byzantine World 565-1204 by John Haldon

This work examines the nature of zantine warfare and its relationship with society at large. This is the first comprehensive study of warfare and the Byzantine world from the sixth to the twelfth century. The book examines Byzantine attitudes to warfare, the effects of war on society and culture, and the relations between the soldiers, their leaders and society.

'Byzantine studies need more works like this.. this is a book of ambitious scope, with a lot to offer readers across a wide range of expertise.' - History

`Haldon has written an excellent compact, balanced, and intelligent broad synthesis of information about the Byzantine army. Within his page limits he has produced an admirable analytical study and comprehensive manual of information. His observations are intelligent and well organized. - Walter E. Kaegi, 2001
