JERUSALEM

The Biography
Book • 2011
This book chronicles the 3,000-year history of Jerusalem, from King David's establishment of the city as his capital to the modern-day conflicts.

Montefiore brings to life the city's many incarnations through the stories of its rulers, conquerors, prophets, and ordinary inhabitants.

The narrative spans various epochs, including the periods of Jewish kings, Persian, Macedonian, Roman, Arab, Crusader, and Ottoman rule.

The book draws on extensive research, including new archives, current scholarship, and the author's own family history, to provide a balanced and detailed account of Jerusalem's complex and often tumultuous history.
