ISBN: 9781474614399.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story of Jerusalem is the story of the world.\nJerusalem is the universal city, the capital of two peoples, the shrine of three faiths; it is the site of Judgement Day and the battlefield of todays clash of civilisations. 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? Drawing on new archives and a lifetimes study, Simon Sebag Montefiore reveals this ever-changing city 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.\nFrom King David to the twenty-first century, 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. This is how Jerusalem became Jerusalem, and the only city that exists twice: in heaven and on earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weidenfeld \u0026 Nicolson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946005033013,"sku":"ByrdShop_1474614396","price":33.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781474614399_4f751f95-88e9-4a1e-af46-178449c4b65b.jpg?v=1778827470","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/jerusalem-the-biography-9781474614399","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
