"Simon Sebag brings the fascinating history of the city of Jerusalem, maybe the most famous and unique city in the world, to life. Moving with us in time from the days before King David made Jerusalem the Capital of his kingdom, until the six-days-war of 1967. A brilliant history of Jerusalem, and of the Jews people as well."
