A book about the turbulent centuries-old history of Jerusalem: about the atrocities committed in the name of this city, and about the short periods of peace, prosperity and tolerance. The book is aimed at a wide audience. Karen Armstrong has created a fascinating historical study that examines Judaism, Christianity and Islam as a single tradition, the development of which followed three different paths. The book will be a success not only among those interested in history and religion, but also among travelers who consider the holy city as an important and iconic place on the map of their travels.
