JERUSALEM - SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE KARTONIERT (TB)

The story of Jerusalem is the story of the world. This fully revised and updated edition
includes a new epilogue bringing the story of Jerusalem up to the present day including updates
on the Israeli American relationship and the huge recent shifts in the Middle East. Jerusalem
is the universal city  the capital of two peoples  the shrine of three faiths  it is the site
of Judgement Day and the battlefield of today's clash of civilisations. How did this small 
remote town become the Holy City  the 'centre of the world' and now the key to peace in the
Middle East? Drawing on new archives and a lifetime's study  Simon Sebag Montefiore reveals
this ever-changing city through the wars  love affairs and revelations of the men and women -
kings  empresses  prophets  poets  saints  conquerors and whores - who created  destroyed 
chronicled and believed in Jerusalem. From King David to the twenty-first century  from the
birth of Judaism  Christianity and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict  this is the epic
history of 3 000 years of faith  slaughter  fanaticism and coexistence. This is how Jerusalem
became Jerusalem  and the only city that exists twice: in heaven and on earth.
