About the Book Books about the History of Israel examine the land that gave rise to both Judaism and Christianity. A part of the Roman Empire for centuries, Israel came under Muslim control from the 7th century, and was the object of the Crusader Wars of the 12th and 13th centuries. Eventually, Israel was absorbed into the Ottoman Empire, but with its collapse in World War 1, became a part of the British Empire, from which it won its independence in 1948. Titles include: Judas Maccabaeus and the Jewish war of independence, Phoenicia and Israel: a historical essay, Sketch of the History of Israel and Judah, Stories of the wars of the Jews: from the Babylonian captivity, to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, and The Jewish Problem, Its Solution, Or, Israel's Present and Future.About usTrieste Publishing's aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time.
