Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A good book on an overlooked subject.By Tom Speight (tspeight@anselm.edu)This short but very good book is a summary and analysis of mostly internal events in the Byzantine Empire. The main subject is the rise to dominance of the Phokas and Skleros "warrior families;" who came to dominate the command positions Empire's army during this; the military apogee of the Empire. The book is fairly concise; though it is a little thin on background details and context; making it most suitable for someone who knows what's going on already. Ostrogorsky's "History of the Byzantine State" can fill in any holes here; though. The in-depth analysis is very good. All in all; a very good book on an often-overlooked period of history.
