Jewish revolt

[Anonymous]

First of all, there's nothing at all wrong with your English. My main interest has always been with this particullar bit of Roman military history, as well. I have numerous books on the first Jewish Revolt and only a few about the second or Bar-Kokhba Revolt, less of which is known. I don't know what, if any, books you've accumulated so far but I recommend beginning at the beginning with a copy of "The Jewish War" by Josephus Flavius, and/or any commentaries on this work you can track down. Also, any works by Yigael Yadin dealing with his excavations of Masada and also his work dealing with the discovery of the caves in and around the Dead Sea area are most enlightening. Actual letters sent by Shimeon Bar-Kokhba and his lieutennants have been discovered in these caves; correspondance which echoes the desperate situation in which the rebels are finding themselves and their cause.<br>

I'm excited to find another Jewish Revolt fan out there and will help you any way I can. If you have any questions or need more info, don't hesitate to post! <p></p><i></i>
