Jerusalem Falls - Seven Centuries of War and Peace

John D. Hosler explores the great clashes and delicate settlements of medieval Jerusalem, from the Persian sack in 614 through the bloody First Crusade and beyond. Deeply researched, this account reveals that despite these horrific acts of violence, Jerusalem's story during this period is also one of interfaith tolerance and accord.
