Battles of the Bible by Chaim Herzog

'Battles of the Bible' presents a comprehensive and illuminating account of the wars of ancient Israel. This is a fascinating and valuable work, not only for its exacting scrutiny of the biblical accounts, but also for its insight into their wider and continuing relevance. This new, thoroughly revised edition takes into account current historical and archaeological research, as well as modern trends in biblical scholarship.
Chaim Herzog was the sixth president of Israel, serving from 1983 to 1993. His other books include Battles of the Bible (coauthored with Mordechai Gichon) and his autobiography, Living History, published shortly before his death in 1997.

Michael Herzog, a retired brigadier general in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), is the son of Chaim Herzog and an Israel-based Milton Fine International Fellow of The Washington Institute. Over the past decade General Herzog has held senior positions in the office of Israel's minister of defense under several administrations. His published work at the Institute included the study, Iranian Public Opinion on the Nuclear Program: A Potential Asset for the International Community and the influential Foreign Affairs article Can Hamas Be Tamed?.
