The Jewish War

Explore the Jewish rebellion against Rome in this detailed and gripping account of treachery and heroism. Written by Flavius Josephus, a rebel turned Rome-appointed negotiator, this book offers a unique perspective on the tumultuous events between AD 66 and 70. From the siege of Jerusalem to the mass suicides at Masada, Josephus provides vivid portraits of key figures like Emperor Vespasian and Herod the Great. Despite being often self-justifying and divided in its loyalties, The Jewish War remains one of the most immediate and evocative accounts of war and its horrors ever written.
