About this listen

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.
