The book by a prominent British historian is a vivid and incredibly engaging account of all aspects of life in the Mediterranean, including climate conditions, geography, flora, and fauna. However, Bradford's main focus is on the rich and multifaceted history of this region. He writes about the Etruscans, Phoenicians, Greeks, and Persians, telling about the ships they sailed on and the wars they fought. He presents the Peloponnesian War, analyzes the relations between the Greeks and the East, the struggle between Rome and Carthage. He shows how Rome became the Eternal City, then the pendulum swung eastward, and the rise of Constantinople occurred. The author pays great attention to the relationship between the Western and Eastern Roman Empires, Arab conquests, the Crusades, the fall of Byzantium, the arrival of the Turks, the consequences of Napoleon's campaigns, and the two world wars. He describes great naval battles and the people who participated in them.
