| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The experience of Byzantium at war is not merely an intellectual exercise for historians but a vital source of insights pertinent to today and tomorrow's wars. The first part of this article offers a brief overview of the topic and the second part draws pertinent "lessons learned" applicable for modern strategy and policymaking. The argument will emphasize the Byzantine experience in the eleventh century-a period of great variation in Byzantine tactical, strategic, and grand strategic (i.e., political) performance. However, relevant evidence is not limited to that time period. |
