The Last Great War of Antiquity

The Last Great War of Classical Antiquity is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on one of history's most pivotal conflicts.

With meticulous research and engaging storytelling, author James Howard-Johnston brings to life the dramatic events of the early seventh century, when Persian armies launched coordinated attacks across the Roman frontier.

This comprehensive account offers a detailed introduction to key players - Turks, Arabs, Avars, Persians, and Romans - and takes readers on a sweeping tour of the vast lands over which the fighting took place. The book's focus on the decisions and actions of individuals, particularly Emperor Heraclius, and the underlying structures in both belligerent empires, provides a solid foundation for understanding this critical period in classical history.

With its critical approach, The Last Great War...offers a much-needed and indispensable introduction into a period that is notoriously difficult to grasp due to geopolitical changes and the scattered nature of the evidence.
