Episode 334 - State Builders from the Steppe with Eric Halsey
I talk to Eric Halsey about his new book State Builders from the Steppe: A History of the First Bulgarian Empire.
In it he chronicles the rise and fall of the Bulgars as they arrive in the Balkans and forge a state that would be a thorn in the Byzantine side.
I thoroughly recommended the book. It’s well researched, easy to read and it’s nice to hear about a subject so intimately entwined with Byzantine history from a different perspective.
Find the book on Amazon or check out the Bulgarian History podcast where Eric takes the Bulgarian story all the way to the present.
