In 1071 the Seljuk sultan Alp Arslan met the Byzantine emperor at Manzikert, in eastern Anatolia, and captured him on the field. He did not set out to change history; he was mostly worried about Egypt. But the Byzantine collapse that followed opened Anatolia to Turkish settlement and helped set the stage for the Crusades. This book follows the sultan, his famous vizier Nizam al-Mulk, and the human story behind a decisive battle.
