Summary "The Destruction of the Greek Empire and the Story of the Capture of Constantinople" by Edwin Pears is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book primarily discusses the decline of the Greek Empire following the capture of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453, tracing the significant events and factors that led to this monumental change in power. Pears aims to re-examine historical narratives surrounding this period, arguing for a more accurate and nuanced understanding of the events that unfolded. The opening of the book establishes Pears' objective to recount the capture of Constantinople and the destruction of the Greek Empire in a clear and detailed manner. It also addresses the inadequacies of previous works, particularly that of Edward Gibbon, highlighting the availability of new materials and perspectives that can enrich the historical narrative. Pears outlines the historical context from the Latin conquest in 1204 to the eventual fall of the city, indicating that the book will delve into the crucial events, figures, and ideological struggles that defined this era, providing insights into the complex relationships between the Greeks, Latins, and Ottomans.
