"Jerusalem, the City of Herod and Saladin" by Walter Besant and Edward Henry Palmer is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book aims to provide a comprehensive history of Jerusalem, documenting significant events from around the year 30 AD through various occupations and conflicts, up to the modern era. It covers the well-known siege and capture by the Romans led by Titus, the consecutive Christian and Muslim occupations, and the Crusades, illustrating how the city has been shaped by pivotal historical figures and events. The opening of the work introduces its ambitious goal: to trace the history of Jerusalem starting from the fall of its Temple through the ages. It emphasizes the dual narrative derived from both Christian and Muslim sources, intending to present an unbiased account of the city's tumultuous past, where emotions and motivations were complex and often mixed. The authors set the stage for the subsequent detailed exploration of Jerusalem's historical narrative, highlighting the impact of rulers and the struggles of the people who inhabited this sacred city, laying the groundwork for an in-depth examination of its relentless conflicts and endurance throughout history.
