The Story of the Scrolls by Geza Vermes
The discovery of the "Dead Sea Scrolls" in Qumran, between 1947 and 1956, was one of the greatest archaeological finds of all time. In this book, the author relates the controversial story of their discovery around the world, revealing cover-ups, blunders and academic in-fighting, but also the passion and dedication of many of those involved.
