Product Details
- In August of AD 70 the city of Jerusalem was destroyed by Roman forces after a six-month siege. This was the disastrous outcome of a Jewish revolt against Roman domination which began in AD 66 with some early success, but soon became mired in factional conflict. The war ended in the destruction of the famous Jewish Temple (rebuilt by Herod the Great a century before). The remarkable story of the war is narrated by an eye-witness and participant, Josephus. He was at first a rebel commander, then after his capture, supported Titus in the final assault on Jerusalem. Josephus spares no detail of a horrific conflict - atrocities on both sides, the reign of terror in Jerusalem, the appalling conditions of the siege, and the final mass suicide at Masada. His vivid narrative is our prime source for this period of history. It is a dramatic story, which resonates to the present day.

Oxford University Press Ancient Roman History Books Editorial Review
The Jewish War is a firsthand account of the events leading up to the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. The book is written by Josephus who provides unique insights and vivid depictions of ancient Judea, making it a valuable source of historical information. However, it should be noted that the book lacks crucial balance as Josephus is writing against a work by Justin of Tiberias and the book comes across as a piece of special pleading. Josephus often uses strong language to excoriate the character of his fellow Jews while praising the valor, insight, patience, fair play, discipline, and training of the Romans. Despite this, the book remains a unique document and an enjoyable read for those interested in Christianity, Judaism, Rome's conquests, warfare, or simply being a witness to utter destruction.
