The Story of Jerusalem presents undoubtedly one of the most dramatic and breath-taking chapters to be found in world history.The saga of Jerusalem is that of a great prolonged and heroic venture; of a centuries-long struggle against the handicaps of barren soil, lack of water and unfavorable geographic situation; and, equally, of a struggle against armed might, power and commercial exploitation by one and all of those empires which have ruled the lands east of the Mediterranean since before the days of the Pharaohs, and until our own days." Contents: The Historical Background by Michael Avi-Yonah. The Geographical Background by David H. K. Amiran. The Pictorial Presentation: A History of Maps, Views & Reconstruction's by Herrmann M. Z.
