Description

Under Jerusalem: The Buried History of the World's Most Contested City is a sweeping history of the hidden world below the Holy City—a saga of biblical treasures, intrepid explorers, and political upheaval. It takes readers into the tombs, tunnels, and trenches of the Holy City and brings to life the indelible characters who have investigated this subterranean landscape. Under Jerusalem reveals how their pursuit has not only defined the conflict over modern Jerusalem, but can provide a map for two peoples and three faiths to peacefully coexist.
