Finally ... A coherent narrative about the origins of the Great War!

"Russian imperialism has always groped south - toward the Balkans and Black Sea. 

Maggie Ledford Lawson’s Passage To Byzantium locates the historical roots of this policy, and analyzes it in a vivid way that condenses a vast published literature to produce a highly readable, engaging narrative drawn from the principal scholars of Russia and the Balkans."

- Geoffrey Wawro, author of A Mad Catastrophe:  The Outbreak of World War I and the Collapse of the Habsburg Empire.
