(John Julius Norwich)Volume II of the history of Byzantium, picking up at the year 800 and covering until the disaster at Manzikert (from which the empire apparently never recovers, thus promising a very uplifting Volume III). This volume goes on pretty much the same as Volume I, and is just as recommended; Really, I don't have much to add here, so I'll just direct you to the review for Volume I and all I can add is that this book is just as good.
