An account of the Jewish revolution against the Romans. A good historical reference that gives insight to the events going on around the time of Jesus and directly after.

I enjoyed this book. The Josephus story, the one documented Jewish writer in the Roman era covers that time period very well. The book is in 10 point print( smaller print), and I am older. Now that I have read it once, I am going to re-list this book and find an updated version in 14 points
(much larger print), and re-read the story.
