Old Granny said Excellent, but print too small!. For those interested in the facts of history presented in an interesting, absorbing tale, G. A. Henty has done a masterful job.

My only complaint is that the print is very small, an observation also made by my grandson.I have several of Henty's books, and they are all excellent. An easy way to learn about history.. IIJuan1"Good historical fiction regarding the destruction of the temple in 70AD" according to IIJuan12. This was dictated to me by my 10 year old son after he read this book: "This is about a Jewish boy who fought against the Romans to try to keep the temple from being destroyed in 70 AD. My favorite part of this book was when his band sieged Gamala. I learned that God does not always favor the Israelites because the temple was destroyed by fire and that if you sin against God, He may punish you in His own time. This was appropriate for someone my age (age 10) to read.". said Good historical fiction regarding the destruction of the temple in 70AD.

It started with an unclear beginning, but through the whole book there was excitement and interest. I can't begin to describe what a great book this was.
Henty tells an exciting story from the record of Josephus. The fall of Jerusalem is brought to life in this classic.. Mr. In this impressive and carefully studied historic setting, you will follow a lad, John of Gamala, who passes from the vineyard to the service of Josephus, becomes the leader of a guerrilla band of patriots, fights bravely for the Temple, and, after a brief term of slavery at Alexandria, returns to his Galilean home with the favor of Titus. The troubles in the district of Tiberias, the march of the legions, the sieges of Jotapata, of Gamala, and of Jerusalem all come to life
