Tyrant!

By David A. Linwood

David A. Linwood has prepared for the writing of this novel with background historical research over a period of ten years. The novel is consistent with the historian Josephus' description of the decline and fall of the Second Jewish Commonwealth over the period 20 B.C. to 73 A.D. Josephus' histories contain much eyewitness material from his Jewish Wars, and historical material from his Antiquities. Much background is also taken from the writings of Philo of Alexandria and the Roman author, Tacitus.The material on Herod the Great is written in the context of actual historical events. The personae of Hannah and her daughter Miriam and their families are drawn from well-known people who lived in the era of the Second Jewish Commonwealth.
