Dying for Jerusalem

The basic idea of this book is to introduce to the reader several key figures living in or somehow involved with the modern history of Jerusalem. I enjoyed the real life memoirs of the author sprinkled with history, and I learned a lot about Jerusalem, Palestine, Israel, and Judaism.

This is not a straight history book, nor is it a straight biography type book. It's also not filled with opinion. It was not what I expected based on the title, but I was pleasantly surprised at what it turned out to be about.
