Book excerpt: A Temple in Flames is the result of a collaboration between two authors: Dr. Gershon Bar-Cochva ¿ a military historian specializing in the study of the Roman army, particularly the war of the Jews against the Romans in the Great Revolt ¿ and Ahron Horovitz, director of Megalim, The Higher Institute of Jerusalem Studies, and the author of several popular books on ancient Jerusalem. In A Temple in Flames, Bar-Cochva presents for the first time a detailed and fascinating picture of the stages of the Roman siege on Jerusalem in a breathtaking saga that culminates with the breach of the city walls and the burning of the Temple. Alongside these depictions, Horovitz offers the reader a wealth of contemporaneous archaeological finds that have been uncovered in recent years in the City of David and ancient Jerusalem.
