but not due to any fault of the book. In fact, I offer this point as very high praise. It took so long due to several simultaneous big projects in my family and business life; sometimes I could only manage a page or so at a time, sometimes no pages at all for several days. But the content of this book is so interesting, so relevant to the big patterns of Western history, that I was committed to reading every single word of it. As one specific example, I knew there was competition among Italian city-states, especially between Venice and Genoa, but I had no understanding of the depth, breadth, and violence of those struggles. As another, learning in detail the role of Venice nicely fleshes out one's knowledge of the third and fourth crusades. I am now reading Empires of the Sea, which was already on the shelves of my personal library, and now, having direct appreciation of this very fine author, I will without hesitation buy and read whatever he writes. If Mr. Crowley thinks it's relevant and interesting, chances are high I will too. I know from first-hand experience the time and labor of love that goes into such a writing project; your efforts, sir, are appreciated.
I primarily read this book to flesh out my understanding of the sack of Contantinople during the fourth crusade. Most books with a Byzantine focus seem to imply that it all fell on Enrico Dandolo; the wily old Doge with a grudge. This book does an outstanding job of giving intimate details of the fourth crusade. Crowley weaves together the intrigues, politics, and attitudes that led to this seminal event in Venetian (and Christian) history. The attack on Constantinople and the sack of the city are given in great, almost painful detail.What I found more fascinating is the after effects of the fourth crusade. How Venice controlled key islands in the Aegean that corresponded to their economic and strategic goals. It was all about trade by sea, and it is absolutely amazing to realize how focused the Venetians were. I think Crowley does a good job of demonstrating that Venice was the protoype for global economic thinking.He also demonstrates convincingly that Venice was also the prototype for colonialism backed by naval power. No, they did not always treat their subject states well since the goals were economic and strategic.Finally, the incremental rise of Ottoman sea power is contrasted with the slow decline of the Venetian state as the dominant naval power. I think Crowley did a great job in showing how the forgotten battles such as Negroponte had a huge impact on the morale and identity of Venice.My only complaint is the ending of the book. It is almost as if Mr. Crowley assumes that the reader's history must be adequate enough to know what happens next. The implication being that Venice continues to decline ultimately resulting in the horses of St. Mark's ending up in France as Napoleon takes northern Italy. Further, Crowley wrote the excellent book Empires of the Sea: The Siege of Malta, the Battle of Lepanto, and the Contest for the Center of the World. The events of this battle are only 50 or 60 years after the end of this book. Why not include more details linking to this battle and the events leading to it? I mean, he skims some of these events such as Cypress being taken by the Ottoman Empire. What is one more chapter between friends... right?All in all a great book that I enjoyed reading very much.
This book cleared up quite a few mysteries about Venice. There are frequent descriptions from original sources by contemporary chroniclers that bring the tumultuous history of Venice to life. I did not expect this book to be a page-turner but for me it was.The writing is clear and concise. I've been to Venice several times but this last visit was immeasurably enhanced by the visceral and dramatic knowledge contained herein. You'll never feel quite as casual strolling around Piazza San Marco, or shopping on the Rialto bridge after reading this book.Kudos to the author.
Author Roger Crowley has a solid command of his subject. He knows his oats. And he presents a large, complex history in a way that is at once accessible to the average reader (like me) and very interesting. He keeps us engaged.I was disappointed when the book was over. I wanted another few centuries of learning.One caution-I got the kindle version. At the end of the book and many many pages of period paintings and maps and such. I would rather have a physical book in my hand as the black and white shot of a magnificent painting isn't as cool.I have a much better understanding of Venice as a culture and as a city. There isn't anyplace like it.
I had been exploring the history of the Ottoman Empire right up to its fall as a result of the first world war. In the process I discovered that the Ottomans and Venice were engaged in a power struggle for several hundred years. Having recently visited Venice and its museums last November I was also intrigued by how this small enclave had been so powerful in the past. As a result of these issues I was looking forward to reading this book.I was not disappointed. It is well written and very easy to read. It filled in many gaps in my knowledge of history. It was also interesting to discover the extent to which the 4th Crusade was a major contributor the the decline of the Byzantine empire and the ultimate fall of Constantinople to the Ottomans. The fact that that crusade mainly ended up targeting christian city's that were regarded as competition by Venice was also enlightening as was Venice's constant war with Genoa .A well written fascinating book.
