 The Sicilian Vespers, A History of the Mediterranean World in the Later Thirteenth Century Steven Runciman HISTORY • 1992 • PAPER • 355 PAGES
A spellbinding history of the 13th-century Kingdom of Sicily. The massacre of the French at Palermo, known as the Sicilian Vespers, is the springboard for the author's sweeping depiction of the Mediterranean in the late 1200's. It's a classic history in the excellent "Canto" series by Cambridge University Press, originally published in 1958.
