330   $aA definitive account of the great revolt of Jews against Rome and the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple ?A lucid yet terrifying account of the 'Jewish War'?the uprising of the Jews in 66 CE, and the Roman empire?s savage response, in a story that stretches from Rome to Jerusalem.??John Ma, Columbia University This deeply researched and insightful book examines the causes, course, and historical significance of the Jews? failed revolt against Rome from 66 to 74 CE, including the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple. Based on a comprehensive study of all the evidence and new statistical data, Guy Rogers argues that the Jewish rebels fought for their religious and political freedom and lost due to military mistakes. Rogers contends that while the Romans won the war, they lost the peace. When the Romans destroyed the Jerusalem Temple, they thought that they had defeated the God of Israel and eliminated Jews as a strategic threat to their rule. Instead, they ensured the Jews? ultimate victory. After their defeat Jews turned to the written words of their God, and following those words led the Jews to recover their freedom in the promised land. The war's tragic outcome still shapes the worldview of billions of people today.
