Urban history, history of religions, history of culture... There is no doubt that there is no other city in the world that can answer all these issues on its own, other than Jerusalem. Jerusalem is much more than a city, and it is a civilization unto itself, bringing together the ages before and after.
Jerusalem... O Jerusalem , tells the dramatic and extraordinary story of the Holy City, Jerusalem, which was torn apart by two factions during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre convey the information they have obtained through a meticulous and rigorous research process to the reader in an impressive style. They recount in full detail through Arab and Arab actors the dramatic, important events that have continued to reverberate to this day, such as the vote at the United Nations to partition Palestine and the joy this vote created among the Jews and the grief experienced among the Arabs, the battles along the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem highway, the near-starvation of Jerusalem in late March 1948, the destruction of the Hurva and the attacks that led to the destruction of the Old City, the declaration of the State of Israel, the entry of the Arab Legion into Jerusalem, the Deir Yassin and Hadassah Hospital massacres.
