JERUSALEM: The Biography

Drawing on new archives, current scholarship, his own family papers and a lifetime's study, Montefiore illuminates the essence of sanctity and mysticism, identity and empire in a unique chronicle of the city that many believe will be the setting for the Apocalypse. This is the story of how Jerusalem became Jerusalem, and the story of the only city that exists twice: in Heaven and on Earth. 24 pages of illustrations, some color.
