Customer Reviews

An excellent story of against-all-odds warfare.

(Full disclosure--I read this book several times as a kid, and came across it because the author was a good friend of my parents.) This is a very great story. Full of clever ideas, the Maccabees are shown as living by their wits while fighting off the mighty Syrian army. I read this book when it first came out, and read it many times growing up. I think it would be an excellent read for anyone, whether a youth or an adult, who likes underdog stories or books about war.
