There was a book called Constantinopolis that came out not long ago. I read a few chapters but never finished. Set in the waning days of Byzantine Empire when the Turks were closing in. I stopped reading it only Bc it kind of made me depressed, it was such a doomed story.

I think Herman Wouk sets the standard in this regard. Both The Winds of War/War and Remembrance and The Hope/The Glory are excellent works. Someone above mentioned Leon Uris - this is another master of weaving fiction in and out of history. And I'm not Jewish, I just happen to enjoy reading about WWII and the world that emerged out of it.
