Resumen del Editor

In "UNBROKEN II: From Alexander the Great and Hellenization to the Hasmoneans, Herod the Great, and the Romans in the Holy Land," the author takes the reader on a guided journey of the land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River that has been fought over more than any other real estate on earth. It covers half a millennium of the history of this territory variously described as "The Holy Land," The Promised Land," Israel, and Palestine.

This challenging expedition made-simple portrays the domination of four Near Eastern Empires of the Holy Land before Alexander the Great conquered it and began the process of Hellenization that lasted three centuries before Rome made the area and the rest of the Levant a part of the growing Roman Empire, thus setting the stage for the birth and growth of the new religion known as Christianity.

This insightful and research-based account of the distant and transformative events that affect the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today, reveals the follies of those times that though normal back then, serve today as lessons to make our leaders wiser in the management of their internal and external affairs. It is a platform on which authentic peace and reconciliation can be built between Israelis and Palestinians, as well as with the other peoples of the Near East and the Muslim World.
