Award-winning author and historian Stephen Dando-Collins delves into unparalleled new insights into the first Jewish revolt. Dando-Collins provides a comprehensive account of the 7-year conflict, examining it from both sides. His examination of the revolt draws upon numerous archaeological and forensic discoveries made in recent years, illuminating the people and events as never before.

It is evident that neither side emerged unscathed from the conflict. Both were at times equally heroic and barbaric. In the end, the Jewish freedom fighters lost the war and lost Jerusalem, their holy city, which was the focal point of the campaign for both sides. However, today, Jerusalem once again holds the heart of the Jewish faith, while Christianity, an offshoot of Judaism, has brought about the demise of the Roman Empire and its gods.

Conquering Jerusalem serves as a testament to the power of faith and the ability to turn the tables when patience is exercised. It demonstrates that faith can have its rewards, and the tables can be turned, even after a long period of struggle. This captivating book offers a fresh perspective on a significant chapter in history, shedding light on the resilience and determination of the Jewish people in their quest for freedom and self-determination.
