Jerusalem is the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the
shrine of three faiths; it is the prize of empires, the site of
Judgment Day and the battlefield of today's clash of civilizations.
From King David to the 21st century, from the birth of Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict, this is
the epic history of three thousand years of faith, slaughter,
fanaticism, and coexistence. In this masterful narrative, Simon
Sebag Montefiore brings the holy city to life, through the people
who created and destroyed it--from Herod, Cleopatra and Nero to
Churchill, Rasputin and Truman--and draws on the latest
scholarship, his own family history, and a lifetime of study to
show that the story of Jerusalem is truly the story of the
world.
