Nicol shows carefully what the difference is between the official documents and reality. Byzantium saw itself as the rightful ruler of even Venice, although in the later stages Venice was equal and even stronger than Byzantium.
I found the book easy to read and very interesting. The book beautifully reflects the changing of power from the East to the West. However some general knowledge about Venice and Byzantium are preferable. Since I'm missing the former a bit, some things where more difficult to place it historical.
This is essentially a diplomatic and military history. I do wish the author had spent more time on "Cultural Relations," but this shortcoming may be due to the paucity of primary sources, as much as anything. The author's historiographical asides on the value and credibility of contemporaneous sources (and occasional jabs at other scholars) are among the pleasures of this book.
