Jewish War (by Josephus)

The "Jewish War" is a historical account written by the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, detailing the Jewish revolt against Roman rule from 66 to 73 CE. Josephus, who initially fought against the Romans but later became a Roman citizen, provides a firsthand perspective on the conflict, examining the causes, key battles, and political turmoil of the time. His work highlights the complexities of Jewish identity and resistance, the brutality of the Roman army, and the eventual destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple in 70 CE. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding Jewish history and Roman imperial dynamics.
