A classic story brought to life through Jim Weiss's thrilling, thoughtfully and gently abridged narration. G.A. Henty weaves a rousing, yet poignant, adventure of the revolt of Palestine against the power of Rome, and the birth of Christianity. Follow John, a courageous young Jew, as he fights in the siege of Jerusalem, survives slavery in Alexandria and the dispersal of the Jews, wins the favor of the Emperor Titus, and returns triumphantly to Galilee. Based on the eyewitness accounts of Josephus, this is a masterful story of events that changed our world forever. Set in A.D. 70.
