Good, but not perfect

I read this book about five years ago, so it's not fresh in my memory. As I recall, it does give a good account and analysis of the major events that occurred within the time period it covers. Aside from an underlying anti-Christian bias that can sometimes be perceived, it does give balanced and even-handed coverage. All things considered, I recommend it to anyone who wants to seriously study the Byzantine Empire.
