Description: How did this small, remote town become the Holy City, the "center ì of the world" and now the key to peace in the Middle East? In a ì gripping narrative, Simon Sebag Montefiore reveals this ì ever-changing city in its many incarnations, bringing every epoch ì and character blazingly to life. Jerusalem's biography is told ì through the wars, love affairs, and revelations of the men and ì women who created, destroyed, chronicled and believed in ì Jerusalem. As well as the many ordinary Jerusalemites who have ì left their mark on the city, its cast varies from Solomon, ì Saladin and Suleiman the Magnificent to Cleopatra, Caligula and ì Churchill; from Abraham to Jesus and Muhammad; from the ancient ì world of Jezebel, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod and Nero to the modern ì times of the Kaiser, Disraeli, Mark Twain, Lincoln, Rasputin, ì Lawrence of Arabia and Moshe Dayan.
