The Jewish War - Book by Flavius Josephus

Name: The Jewish War
Author: Flavius Josephus

Written by the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, The Jewish War provides a detailed account of the Jewish revolt against Roman rule from 66 to 70 CE. Josephus, who was involved in the conflict before surrendering to the Romans, offers a first-hand perspective on the military campaigns, the siege of Jerusalem, and the destruction of the Second Temple.

It is a key text for understanding the historical context of the Jewish-Roman conflict.
