Bar Kochba's revolt to repossess Jerusalem from the Romans.

This is a well-researched account of the Bar Kochba revolt to regain Jerusalem from the Romans after the fall of MassadaCentered around Jara,a young girl who is a descendant of some-one who left Massada before the mass suicide, we are taken through the battles, physical and philosophical, that the warriorsexperienced to repossess their freedom in Jerusalem. This book was so exciting, as well as providing new knowledge of my heritage,that it motivated me to find the previous book by this author, TheTenth Measure, which tells the story of the Jewish nation up to thefall of Massada. The stories were so overwhelming that I felt I hadto go to Massada and see for myself the conditions that they lived under. Fortunately, I live only an hour from Massada so I went thereduring Chanukah, climbed up and down the "Snake Path" and felt a littlecloser to the brave people of that time. I strongly recommend both these books if you can find them (they are out of print), as you will learnhistorical facts through Segal's
