I read this inspired by a visit to the Holy Land made this year with four days in Jerusalem. I don't know if this is The Biography - but Montefiore charts the turbulent, confusing, violent history which has this extraordinary city at its centre in a way that is both informative and with a certain humour. A marathon - but fascinating.
