- Summary:
- This impressive history details for the first time in English the political activities of the Bulgars and their relationship with the Byzantines in the Middle Ages. Sophoulis (history, U. of Athens, Greece), who bases the volume on his 2005 PhD thesis (from Oxford U.), provides a focused narrative account of the complex events and politics of the era, detailing the agendas and histories of the various players, and the larger geopolitical situation, including Byzantium's concurrent struggles with the Abbasids. A detailed analysis of the sources for the history is the subject of chapter one. An exhaustive bibliography is provided. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
