Lost to the West
The Forgotten Byzantine Empire that Rescued Western Civilization-
"A hugely entertaining and often moving portrait of a civilization to which the modern West owes an immense but neglected debt. Read it, and you will never use the word 'Byzantine' as a term of abuse again."
--Thomas Holland, author of Millennium, Persian Fire and RubiconBuy the Book

Just finished reading “Lost to the West.” One of the best books on Byzantine history. Loved the book but was left depressed by the sad truth of what happened to a great empire. Since I’m Sicilian by birth, I have a special place in my heart for Roman History. Thank you Mr. Brownworth. Great work.
