A detailed account of Venetian history in the century leading up to the conquest of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade. A scholarly work, it gives more detail than the casual reader needs, but the prose is lively and the author has an eye for telling details.
It is most valuable for its sympathetic treatmentment of Venetian relations with Byzantium. The conquest is shown to be a natural, if impulsive response to outrages committed against Venice by the Eastern Empire.
