Review title: BYZANTIUM: THE APOGEE - JOHN JULIUS NORWICH Product review: The Dark Ages prove not as dark. Illuminated by a wealth of detail and insight, the second part of Norwich's trilogy proves as captivating as the first. Where Western Europe struggled for centuries to overcome the effects of the barbarian invasions, Byzantium struggled for centuries to avoid sinking as low. Beset on all sides it survived and acted as a beacon as well as a prize for all those around it and pace Pirenne, acted as the third leg if not the main prop of the post Roman oikumene that surrounded the Mediterranean by 800 A.D.The desperate external and vicious internal struggles are crackingly well told with plenty of maps appendices and bibliographies to help what could be a struggle for the reader unfamiliar with such an exotic and almost alien period of history.You can almost taste the wine and smell the incense

Review title: A hot climb to the top of drama Product review: Saw this film the first time round on PBS as a kid. Was mostly wrapped up in the British dialogue on first viewing. Caught it again years later on TCM and as an adult, and was then able to understand the true drama of this gripping film set in a WW2 era British miliary prison in the searing North African desert. Became hooked from that point on. One of director Lumet's best, and in my opinion not given it's full due. Finally lucky to have found it on DVD through Amazon. As fellow inmates, the young Sean Connery is brilliant as Sgt. Roberts as is the equally youthful Ozzie Davis as Pvt. Jacko King. My recommendation is to come for the British-ness and dark humor, and stay for the drama and tense ending.
