It investigates the correspondence between official rhetoric and propaganda, on the one hand, and military realities, on the other. It explores the military ethos of the late Byzantine aristocracy and examines Byzantine perceptions of military leadership in comparison to contemporary western European military thinking. The organisation and nature of military operations and the role of the various groups of soldiers are explored to set Byzantine warfare in the wider geographical and cultural context. In addition, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the influences other medieval cultures exerted on Byzantine military thought, organisation and practice.History of warfare ;v. 67.Military art and scienceByzantine EmpireAristocracy (Political science)Byzantine EmpireByzantine EmpireHistory, Military1081-1453Military art and scienceAristocracy (Political science)355.0209495/0902Kyriakidis Savvas1473087MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781688903321Warfare in late Byzantium, 1204-14533686143UNINA
