One of our Great Reads you may have missed in 2011.

 

Featured on The Book Show on Sky Arts on 10 February 2011.

A triumphant history, a compelling narrative that flows seamlessly throughout. Montefiore marshals a huge cast of characters, chronicles the major events without forgetting the smaller, equally important details. An important book that presents the history of Jerusalem in all its religious, historical and political importance.

The Lovereading view...

The epic story of Jerusalem told through the lives of the men and women who created, ruled and inhabited it.  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 story of the city that many believe will be the setting for the Apocalypse. This is how Jerusalem became Jerusalem: the only city that exists twice - in heaven and on earth.
