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. 410 0$aHistory of warfare ;$vv. 67. 606 $aMilitary art and science$zByzantine Empire 606 $aAristocracy (Political science)$zByzantine Empire 607 $aByzantine Empire$xHistory, Military$y1081-1453 615 0$aMilitary art and science 615 0$aAristocracy (Political science) 676 $a355.0209495/0902 700 $aKyriakidis$b Savvas$01599118 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808719903321 996 $aWarfare in late Byzantium, 1204-1453$93921674 997 $aUNINA
