This book examines how the Byzantine Empire came to lose so much of its territory to Islamic conquerors in the seventh century.
Klappentext
This book presents an enquiry into a fundamental historical problem in early Byzantine history: why the Byzantine Empire failed to contain emergent Islam in the new religion's initial years, and in particular how and why the Byzantines first lost Syria, Palestine, Mesopotamia, and Armenia before partial recovery.
Zusammenfassung
In describing life and conditions in the seventh-century Byzantine east, Professor Kaegi examines how the empire came to lose so much of its territory to Islamic conquerors. He also seeks to explain how the Byzantine government reacted to this loss.
