Apologies for the brevity of this post but it has just come to my attention that Ilkka Syvänne will be publishing his study of Nikephoros II Phokas in April of this year. I've read all of his The Military History of Late Rome which were mostly impressive; I find myself very much looking forward to the publications of Nikephoros II Phokas, 912–969: The White Death of the Saracens at the end of this month.
Cheers
