A brilliant account of the end of the Roman empire.

The researches were so well done that the narration is very smooth, as if Roger had been there, at the time and had witnessed the events.

Recommended.

A great book! Already read the portuguese version, this original is really good!

It is a well written book. The author did a thorough job of researching, and tells about the events leading up to the siege of Constantinople. You won't be disappointed.

excellent reading, I grew up in Istanbul, knew some history of the Ottaman empire, this book fills in additional historic information
