The drama of the definitive end of the Eastern Roman Empire and Byzantium is a gripping portrayal of a tragic chapter in the history of Christian civilization as it confronts the rise of the Ottoman Turks under the banner of Islam. This work of historical nonfiction by British historian Steven Runciman narrates the gradual decline of Eastern imperial power and the growing strength of the sultans, highlighting the West's indifference and unwillingness to provide assistance. It vividly recounts the fateful days leading up to the decisive battle for Constantinople in May 1453.
