The Routledge Historical Atlas of Jerusalem by Martin Gilbert Book PDF Summary
The Routledge Historical Atlas of Jerusalem presents the history of a remarkable city, focal point of Jewish, Christian and Muslim sentiment and capital of the State of Israel, serving, despite conflict, as a flourishing, vibrant metropolis. In 69 maps and more than 100 prints and photographs, the atlas reveals the complete history of Jerusalem. It covers biblical Jerusalem - the city as a centre of pilgrimage through the ages; imperial rule - the impact of the Romans, Byzantines, Crusaders and Ottoman Turks; growth and idealism - Jerusalem as a focal point of Jewish aspirations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; British Mandate Jerusalem - the Holy Places, Arab-Jewish strife, urban growth and the emergence of a modern city; divided Jerusalem - two separate cities and their reunification in 1967; and conflict and hope - Jerusalem in the twenty-first century.
