BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT - 'The End of Antiquity' Book 5 in The Fall of the Roman Empire
Although I’m no longer making new episodes of this podcast, I thought you might be interested in my latest book, called The End of Antiquity, which relates particularly well to the content in this podcast since it’s about the rise of Islam in the seventh century AD and the collapse of the Roman and Persian empires. It covers the warfare, politics, and religious upheaval of the time, but also introduces a compelling new angle: climate change. Drawing on the latest scientific research, I examin...

GET A FREE BOOK ON BYZANTIUM & THE CRUSADES
<p>Just a quick update to let you know if you like this podcast you can get the book on which it’s based for free on my website <a href='https://www.nickholmesauthor.com/free-book'>nickholmesauthor.com</a>. It’s called The Byzantine World War, and it's about the origins of the First Crusade and suggests that it really began as the result of the defeat of the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071. This caused a revolution in the Middle-East when the Turks overran the hitherto Greek-speaking region of Anatolia – which is now modern Turkey.</p><p>What makes the story particularly exciting is that I suggest the Byzantines were actually winning the Battle of Manzikert until the emperor was betrayed by his own jealous nobles. So, history might easily have taken a totally different route. Indeed, there might not have been any Crusades at all.</p><p>The book has been a bestseller on Amazon where it has over 400 reviews, so why not click on the link in the show notes which will take you to the offer on my website. You can also stay in touch with my latest historical research and books which are focused on the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. </p><p><a href='https://www.nickholmesauthor.com/free-book'>Get your free book Here!</a> Hope you enjoy it and look forward to staying in touch on Byzantine, Roman and Crusader history! </p>
