Good Insight into East Christian view of the Crusades - By: , 01 Sep 1999
This book provides a good insight into how Byzantium (the East Christian Empire which survived the Roman Empire) viewed the Crusaders & the emerging conflict between Byzantium & Western Christendom ( which culminated in the 4th Crusade's sacking of Constantinople).

Although what Confucius Analects are doing on this Review page I don't know

Awsome sense of place in a dark period - By: , 19 Nov 1998
This translation is written with a clarity which makes the story flow. Although I am not an expert in this period, Anna Comnena fills each page with enough fascinating commentary to bring her peiod alive. It is amazing that this material is so available to the modern reader. This book is well worth while.
