Jewish War Josephus
In August of AD 70 the city of Jerusalem was destroyed by Roman forces after a six-month siege. The war ended in the destruction of the famous Jewish Temple (rebuilt by Herod the Great a century before).The remarkable story of the war is narrated by an eye-witness and participant, Josephus. This was the disastrous outcome of a Jewish revolt against Roman domination which began in AD 66 with some early success, but soon became mired in factional conflict.
Josephus spares no detail of a horrific conflict - atrocities on both sides, the reign of terror in Jerusalem, the appalling conditions of the siege, and the final mass suicide at Masada. He was at first a rebel commander, then after his capture, supported Titus in the final assault on Jerusalem. His vivid narrative is our prime source for this period of history.
It is a dramatic story, which resonates to the present
