In Jerusalem of Gold, acclaimed author and historian Simon Sebag Montefiore tells the story of this extraordinary city from its earliest beginnings to the present day. He explores Jerusalem's rich history, from its founding by King David in the 10th century BC to its destruction by the Romans in 70 AD to its conquest by the Arabs in the 7th century to its capture by the Crusaders in the 11th century to its final liberation by the Israelis in 1967.

Montefiore also delves into Jerusalem's vibrant culture, from its music and art to its food and fashion. He introduces us to the city's diverse population, from its Jewish and Muslim residents to its Christian pilgrims. And he explores Jerusalem's spiritual significance, from its role as the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity to its status as the third holiest city in Islam.

Jerusalem of Gold is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the history, culture, and spirituality of one of the most important cities in the world. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
