Written in a clear and engaging style and covering thematically the whole span of Mediterranean history, this is an exemplary textbook, as well as a capacious and engaging example of what three masterful historians can do in writing a 'total' history of the Mediterranean. An extraordinary achievement to be read by students and scholars alike.--Teofilo Ruiz, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus of History, University of California, Los Angeles By focusing on the Mediterranean writ large, this powerful and original book upends traditional views of medieval and early modern history to offer a compelling new master narrative of the millennium from 650 to 1650. The authors reveal the Mediterranean as an integrated space that extended far beyond this sea's shores to involve Muslims, Christians, Jews, and others in complex patterns of conflict and cooperation. This highly readable tour-de-force of synthesis and analysis is bound to become a classic.--Amy G. Remensnyder, Professor of History, Brown University In this ground-breaking work, Thomas E. Burman, Brian A. Catlos, and Mark D. Meyerson have taken care to provide a guide to the complexities of the medieval and early modern Mediterranean that will surprise, delight, and illuminate. Teachers and students will be forever grateful.--Teresa Shawcross, Associate Professor of History and Hellenic Studies, Princeton University
