The Wars of the Jews; Or, The History of the Destruction of Jerusalem
Translated by William Whiston
"The Wars of the Jews; Or, The History of the Destruction of Jerusalem" by Josephus is a historical work written around 75 AD. Divided into seven books, it chronicles Jewish history from 168 BC through the catastrophic First Jewish–Roman War. Josephus recounts the conflict under Roman generals Vespasian and Titus, including harrowing episodes like the siege of Jerusalem and its devastating consequences. Written by an eyewitness historian, this influential text shaped Christian and Jewish understanding of the war's events for centuries.
