Book Description
Publication Date: 1 Mar 2012
Jerusalem is the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the shrine of three faiths; it is the prize of empires, the site of Judgement Day and the battlefield of today's clash of civilizations. From King David to Barack Obama, from the birth of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to the Israel-Palestine conflict, this is the epic history of 3,000 years of faith, slaughter, fanaticism and coexistence.

How did this small, remote town become the Holy City, the 'centre of the world' and now the key to peace in the Middle East? In a gripping narrative, Simon Sebag Montefiore reveals this ever-changing city in its many incarnations, bringing every epoch and character blazingly to life. Jerusalem's biography is told through the wars, love affairs and revelations of the men and women - kings, empresses, prophets, poets, saints, conquerors and whores - who created, destroyed, chronicled and believed in Jerusalem.

Drawing on new archives, current scholarship, his own family papers and a lifetime's study, Montefiore illuminates the essence of sanctity and mysticism, identity and empire in a unique chronicle of the city that many believe will be the setting for the Apocalypse. This is how Jerusalem became Jerusalem, and the only city that exists twice - in heaven and on earth.

Review
If you want to understand the Middle East, read this. (GOOD BOOK GUIDE )

...astoundingly ambitious and triumphantly epic history of the city. (The Daily Telegraph )

Full of faith, power, slaughter and fanaticism; this is a unique chronicle, balanced and critical and wonderfully entertaining. (Chris Burgess The Examiner (Ireland) )

This is a city that has survived Hell, and Montefiore takes you to the heart of it. (James Cleary The Northern Echo )

Magnificent. (Stephen Lewis The York Press )

...never a dull moment (David Bradbury Daily Mail )

...as entertaining as it is elucidating. It's a history that is sharply paced as a novel and fairly brims over with sparkling writing. (Sunday Businesss Post )

...heterogenous, sprawling, erudite and touched by genius (Catholic Herald )
