This intriguing and concise history of a city with one of the richest and longest histories, Jerusalem: The Story of a Great City doesn't disappoint. Lavishly illustrated, this beautiful book contains a combination of historically chronological and themed chapters that recall the origins of Jerusalem and show how it has been at the centre of disputes between the three major world religions—Judaism, Islam and Christianity—for over three millennia. With special chapters on some of the most important features of the city, such as the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as well as others on key moments in its story, such as the declaration of Israel's independence and the Six-Day War, Jerusalem: The Story of a Great City offers a fascinating insight into how the city has remained a focus not just for the people of the Middle East but for people around the world.
