Résumé:

'Masada is associated with some of the most frightful deeds of heroism in all history. Its recent exploration was more an heroic act of tribute to the past than an ordinary excavation ... Such a total involvement with the heroic is unusual and gives this book a unique quality.' - Jacquetta Hawkes, Sunday Times
