City of Stone: The Hidden History of Jerusalem Paperback - 1998
by Meron Benvenisti
The domain of Muslims, Jews, and Christians, Jerusalem is a perpetual contest: its shrines, housing projects, and bulldozers compete in a scramble for possession. In "City of Stone", Benevenisti, one of Jerusalem's most respected authorities, presents an integrated history of the city that does not fall prey to any one version of its past. 14 photos. 7 maps.
First line
On Monday, September 4, 1995-the ninth day of the month of Elul in the year A.H 5755 (according to the Jewish calendar)-the Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin officially opened the celebrations marking the 3,000th anniversary of the establishment of Jerusalem as capital of the Kingdom of Israel.
From the rear cover
"Jerusalem has had many chroniclers, but Benvenisti is the city's leading living author. This is the one book that provides a history of the city at once knowing, unsentimental, yet evocative of the grace of that city. A book of great quality, a book of rare integrity."--Fouad Ajami, author of The Arab Predicament
