Review
"This lavishly illustrated, beautifully produced book is a fine introduction to the Holy City on
the 3,000th anniversary of its foundation by King David as the capital of Israel. Moving briskly from the Davidic city to the times of Moslem and Crusader Jerusalem, the author gives a comprehensive, up-to-date archaeological report that will be of considerable interest to scholars and non-specialists alike. Rich in anecdote and incident, this is a lively and absorbing book. The chapter on King Solomon and the Lord's House is especially fascinating."
