He was uniquely placed to observe the turbulent events of the Jewish-Roman War, from the siege of Jerusalem to the final heroic resistance and mass suicides at Masada. Josephus’ account of a war marked by treachery and atrocity provides much of what we know about the history of the Jews under Roman rule, with vivid portraits of such key figures as the Emperor Vespasian and Herod the Great. Often self-justifying and divided in its loyalties, \u003ci\u003eThe Jewish War\u003c\/i\u003e nevertheless remains one of the most immediate accounts of war, its heroism and its horrors, ever written.The Jewish War - Josephus       Foreword to This Edition\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003eJosephus' Life\u003cbr\u003eJosephus' Works\u003cbr\u003eJosephus as a Historian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE JEWISH WAR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e1.
