Jerusalem

This history treats the city as a single biography from the Bronze Age through Canaanite, Israelite, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Crusader, Mamluk, Ottoman, British, and Israeli rule, down to the twenty-first century. Montefiore follows kings, priests, pilgrims, and families - Jewish, Christian, and Muslim - through temples, churches, and mosques on the same ridges, and through massacre, rebuilding, and partition. The book is a narrative history of one city, not a guidebook and not a work of theology.
