Crowley’s popular histories—this is his fourth—pivot around power politics of the Mediterranean Sea, circa 1453 (2005). Venice is the player this lively narrative focuses on, specifically during the three centuries, from 1200 to 1500, in which it was at the apex of its sway over maritime trade. Accenting the city-state’s mercantile spirit, Crowley supports his narrative of the period’s numerous naval wars with explanations of the commerce they were fought to command. Acquiring an imperial archipelago in the process of serving as spice broker between Europe and Asia, Venice reached around Greece to Constantinople and as far as southern Russia. Anchored by fortresses, linked by galleys, Venice’s commercial empire faced challenges from Mongols, Genoa, and Ottoman Turks, and the diplomatic and military means by which Venice addressed those threats provide the most vivid passages and personalities in Crowley’s account. Had Vittorio Pisano not defeated Genoa in 1380, Venice might not be the tourist attraction of today. A deft writer, Crowley renders the Venetian part in late medieval times interesting indeed to history buffs

感觉不错,写个书评梳理一下
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
先说下这书的几点问题 1、基本就是战争史,就如作者自己在书里所说,威尼斯的胜利的核心在于日积月累的生意模式,而在这本纵横五百多年的书里,仅仅着重讲了几次战争而已,你可以说很重要,其实也可以说并不是那么重要,战争的胜负主要来源于国力和国家内部的组织体系的建立,... (展开)核心要点提取之财富之城威尼斯

记录了Venice从1000AD到1500AD的故事,大篇幅放在了1204AD Constantinople之战,其他部分内容(黑海开拓,克里特统治,黑死病传播,1380AD对Genoa绝地反击),可以作为阅读海都物语后的补充。
