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 three thousand years of faith,
slaughter, fanaticism and coexistence.
How did this small, remote town become the Holy City, the "center
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. As well as the many ordinary Jerusalemites who have
left their mark on the city, its cast varies from Solomon, Saladin
and Suleiman the Magnificent to Cleopatra, Caligula and Churchill;
from Abraham to Jesus and Muhammad; from the ancient world of
Jezebel, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod and Nero to the modern times of the
Kaiser, Disraeli, Mark Twain, Lincoln, Rasputin, Lawrence of
Arabia and Moshe Dayan.
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.
