The Story of the Last Days of Jerusalem from Josephus

The Story of the Last Days of Jerusalem from Josephus by Alfred J. Church is a historical account of the final days of the city of Jerusalem, as written by the Jewish historian Josephus. The book provides a detailed description of the events leading up to the fall of Jerusalem to the Roman army in 70 AD, including the political and religious tensions between the Jews and the Romans, the siege of the city, and the eventual destruction of the Temple. Church's book draws heavily on Josephus' own writings, which are considered some of the most important sources for understanding the history of the Jewish people in the first century AD.
