Review:
Renowned historian Martin Gilbert offers a history of Jerusalem in the 20th century through the eyewitness accounts of those who lived through it. Through documented accounts in letters, books and journals he follows the development of the city from a neglected Ottoman backwater, through the British mandate to the declaration of the state of Israel and the ensuing war in 1948, and on to the travails of the modern state which made Jerusalem its capital and created a modern city alongside the ancient one. Some of the most dramatic testimony concerns the division of the city in the 1948 war, and its reunification in the 1967 Six-Day war. Full of anecdotes that put history on a human level, the book includes the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin and the bus bombings of 1996.
From the Publisher:
One of the world's greatest historians, Gilbert knows the city and its people intimately and has written extensively on the subject. In this fascinating book, he examines every facet of Jerusalem's story--a remarkable proliferation of religious, intellectual, social, and cultural activity. Describes the impact of two world wars, Israel's creation in 1948 with Jerusalem as its capital, the division of the city and its recent unification, the assassination of Rabin, and much more.
