About This Item
London: Michael Joseph, 1968. This is the story of the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans and of their strange, empty victory at Masada, the last remaining strong-hold of the Jews. It is also the story of the increasing desperation of the Jews, their disillusion and despair when the expected climax of the Last Days fails to come and their faith in the Holy One is shaken. The story is woven from familiar Bibical writings and from events vouched for by historians, both Roman and Jewish, events since confirmed by the finding of archaeologists. The author has combined extensive research with a vivid, creative imagination to produce a book of religious, historical and dramatic interest mounting to the violent yet poignant finale. Red boards with gilt to spine. Wrap-around jacket illustration by Jenny Williams. A very nice copy.. First British Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
