In this edition, Stavrianos' (emeritus, history, Northwestern University) work is introduced by Traian Stoianovich (emeritus, history, Rutgers U.).
		The Balkans Since 1453 has not only stood the test of time but remains the defining general work in the study of Balkan civilization.
		It provides readers with a view of time and space from a Balkan perspective but also with a vision of how to look at other regions of the world, and how to perceive the world itself as a unit composed of diverse spatial, temporal, and cultural components.

		The Fall of Constantinople was the conquest of the Byzantine capital by the Ottoman Empire under the command of Sultan Mehmed II, on Tuesday, May 29, 1453.
		In 1453 the "empire" consisted of little more than the city of Constantinople itself and a portion of the Peloponnese (centered on the fortress of Mystras); the Empire of Trebizond, a completely independent successor state formed in the aftermath of the Fourth Crusade also survived on the coast of the Black Sea.
		Mehmed planned to attack the Theodosian Walls, the intricate series of walls and ditches protecting Constantinople from an attack from the west, the only part of the city not surrounded by water.

		A significant reason for the victory of the Ottomans in 1453 was the use of cannons or employing the gunpowder against the strength of the walls.

		Runciman shows that the fall of Constantinople to the Turks on May 29, 1453 (550 years ago today!) was both inevitable and of mostly marginal historical significance (except, of course, to the people of the city itself).
		Beginning with the Ottoman advance into Europe in the later 14th century, and ultimately ending with the City's capture in 1453, he weaves a story that is both historically accurate as well as emotionally moving.
		The Eastern Empire in 1453 was a mere shadow of its once glorious self.
