For the Temple

A Tale of the Fall of Jerusalem

Set during the last days of the Jewish Temple at Jerusalem. In the face of overwhelming odds, John of Gamala does his best to save the Temple, harassing Roman work parties, burning Roman camps, defending Jerusalem during the Roman siege, and even fighting Titus himself in hand-to-hand combat. An adventurous story following the historical account given by Josephus in De bello iudaico.

First published in 1887, this edition is derived from the original book with 10 black & white illustrations by Solomon J. Solomon and a map of Jerusalem. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
