Jerusalem The Biography Simon Sebag Montefiore 9788771220155 Books Reviews
Gripping to say the least. When the history came to 'my" era, some major glaring omission, commissions of error or oversight. Example The first major Jewish revolt against the White Paper (no more Jews into Palestine) reprisal was the bombing of the s/s Patria - a ship load of refugees not permitted to disembark in the Haifa Harbor, Which caused world revolution against the British who wanted to deport the survivors to Madagascar. Not "worthy of mention". The hanging of the three Irgun members and then the kidnapping and hanging of two British soldiers (reprisal), not a mention. This act of terrorism caused major anti-Semitic waves in England. The grove in which the two were hung is a historic grove in today's Israel. That was the Black Sabbath. What the author mentions is not the right Black Sabbath at all. It was a total country curfew where a new mother was shot to death when she hung diapers on the roof. I wrote the author with indisputable dates, names, and places but received no reply. A gripping book, with major holes in modern history.
3 thousand years in several hundred pages. Each era is facinating, violent, depraved and sadistic. You couldn't make this stuff up. I wish Montefiore had more details with the early years, but I guess those details are impossible to come by and he only sticks with the facts. And for that I thank him.
An amazing historical panorama, filled with fascinating information, written in an engaging and accessible style.
The biography, arguably, of the most storied and tortured city in the world. Excellent piece of work!
The writing holds your interest as does the fascinating history itself.
Fascinating story. Even for those who studied the history of Jerusalem, know the city and its people, an eye opener. Montefiore is doing justice to his family name and tradition. A first class read where everybody finds something amazing and new. Highly recommended.
Not exactly light reading and am still doing so. It is quite an education and written extraordinarily well. Mr. Montefiore did his research and did it well. Granted there are a few things, but each historian has their own opinion of what and where and how it happened. I am enjoying this immensely and have recommended it to several.
