Michael Baizerman Author

I am looking for a better reader for my emerging history book, The Enchanting Encounter with the East. The extract that I would like to be reviewed embraces the first two units and makes up about 70 pages. The candidate should have a passable knowledge of history: my book covers the Late Middle Ages and focuses on the attitude of European intellectuals to the East, especially the Far East. My work is intended for general readers so I don't expect to run into an expert. I would appreciate any advice including the quality and provocative questions. I am still examining materials for Unit 3 which concerns the Mongols' invasion of Europe as part of their western campaign during1241-42. My special thanks to my Russian audience who made up the majority of my readers last month. I would like to recommend Robert Marshal's book, The Storm from the East, which is available on google books. I am enjoying reading it now and not only the chapter which deals with my topic.

Welcome Page Welcome to my blog! I'm an amateur historian who is building an alternative career of a non-fiction writer. I wrote a history book "Dawn and Sunset" about the emergence, bloom, and demise of the early Mesopotamian civilization (IV-III millennia BCE). You can view it on my websibe http://www.michaelbaizerman.com/  I am currently writing a second manuscript with the working title "The Enchanting Encounter with the East" which focuses on the contacts between West and East throughout the Middle Ages, especially the Late Middle Ages, xiii-xiv centuries.
