Oxford University Press Ancient Roman History Books Editorial Review
The Jewish War is a firsthand account of the events leading up to the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. The book is written by Josephus who provides unique insights and vivid depictions of ancient Judea, making it a valuable source of historical information. However, it should be noted that the book lacks crucial balance as Josephus is writing against a work by Justin of Tiberias and the book comes across as a piece of special pleading. Josephus often uses strong language to excoriate the character of his fellow Jews while praising the valor, insight, patience, fair play, discipline, and training of the Romans. Despite this, the book remains a unique document and an enjoyable read for those interested in Christianity, Judaism, Rome's conquests, warfare, or simply being a witness to utter destruction.
