This extraordinary endurance is all the more remarkable because the Byzantine empire was favored neither by geography nor by military preponderance. This book is a broad, interpretive account of Byzantine strategy, intelligence, and diplomacy over the course of eight centuries that will appeal to scholars, classicists, military history buffs, and professional soldiers. 000438852 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438852 650_0 $$aStrategy$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 000438852 650_0 $$aMilitary art and science$$zByzantine Empire$$xHistory. 000438852 650_0 $$aImperialism$$xHistory$$yTo 1500. 000438852 651_0 $$aByzantine Empire$$xMilitary policy. 000438852 651_0 $$aByzantine Empire$$xHistory, Military. 000438852 651_0 $$aByzantine Empire$$xForeign relations. 000438852 655_7 $$aElectronic books.$$2lcsh 000438852 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLuttwak, Edward.$$tGrand strategy of the Byzantine Empire.$$dCambridge, Mass. : Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2009$$z9780674035195$$z9780674062078$$w(DLC) 2009011799$$w(OCoLC)317361758 000438852 8520_ $$bacq 000438852 85280 $$bebk$$hProquest Ebook Central 000438852 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3300856$$zOnline Access 000438852 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438852$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438852 980__ $$aEBOOK 000438852 980__ $$aBIB 000438852 982__ $$aEbook 000438852 983__ $$aOnline
