One of the Series: 'Imperial Visions, The Rise and Fall of Empires'-- 'Religion at the Crossroads' is in two parts: 'Byzantium' by Joyce Milton, and 'The Turks' by Rafael Steinberg and Sarah Lewis; from the Preface: "The two civilizations--Byzantine and Turkish--that played out their rivalry across the Aegean as the Middle Ages waned have always proved enigmatic to Western Europeans. Cosmopolitan, exotic Byzantium has exercised a perennial fascination on the imagination of the West and yet has stubbornly eluded understanding. The Turkish Empire has emerged as the West's foremost caricature of the cruel and alien state menacing and at the same time alluring in its violence and sensuousness."
