The Eurasian Way of War

Military Practice in Seventh-Century China and Byzantium

Beschreibung

This book is a comparative study of military practice in Sui-Tang China and the Byzantine Empire between 600 and 700 CE. It highlights the many similarities in military practice, arguing that this reflected the need to deal with common problems, in particular the nomadic peoples of the Eurasian steppes.

Rezensionen

'Graff 's intervention represents a compelling case study in how sedentary civilizations react to the amorphous threat of the "barbarian" other.'
