He was famous in Jewish legend as the guerrilla leader of the second revolt against Hadrian's Rome, during which, for an intoxicating moment, the Holy city of Jerusalem was recaptured before the Romans fought their way back. The book is illustrated throughout, and the story brings Bar - Kokhba out of the shadows of romance and legend and restores to the Jewish people a real life hero. The reader can himself experience the excitement of discovery in pictures taken at the moment when the finds were made in a canyon near the Dead Sea.* A VG+ copy with NO MAJOR FAULTS reduced by a worn dust jacket to GOOD* This is a heavy volume and a contribution is included in the price for the extra cost of carriage.*
