A similar book, but that looks at Europe and politics around the year 1000, is _The _Last _Apocalypse_ by James Reston, Jr.
Like _The _Year _1000_, it's popular history, but a nice overview of what was happening, and well written (is is just me, or have historians actually learned how to write in the past 20 years?).
