Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Conquerors of Palestine Through Forty Centuries When on active service in Palestine in 1917-18, I often felt, and heard others express, the want of a book, which, in small compass, would give an outline of the many previous invasions of that country. I have here set down matter collected from many sources, and woven together into a somewhat connected story, in the hope that it may be of interest to others who have fought or travelled, or are generally interested, in the Holy Land. I fully appreciate that, to do justice to a work like this, one needs to be antiquarian, theologian, and historian as well as soldier. I make no claim to be either of the former. But, having fought over the same ground, worked out the same problems, and experienced the same thrills, as the warriors of forty centuries, I have been emboldened to approach the subject at least from the point of view of the soldier. I give a list of the authorities of which I have made use, in an appendix. In addition to references in the text and notes, I have drawn largely on the following, namely: Milman´s History of the Jews for the earlier chapters; the Works of Josephus for Chapter VII; The Caliphate, by Sir Win. Muir, for Chapter VIII ; and Jerusalem the city of Herod and Saladin, by W. Besant and E. H. Palmer, for Chapter IX. I appreciate that the arrangement of chapters which I have adopted is open to criticism on the ground of overlapping. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the arrangement adopted will conduce to simplicity, which is so essential in unravelling the tangled history of Palestine.
