Forming a land bridge between Eurasia and Africa and controlling access to the eastern Mediterranean, the territory that today makes up much of the modern state of Israel has proved a tempting prize for a wide array of would-be conquerors. \u003cem\u003eBattles of the Bible Illustrated Atlas\u003c\/em\u003e introduces 20 key battles from the Biblical era. Beginning with the Israelites' campaign against Ai (1407 BC) and finishing with the siege of Masada (73 AD), examples from every major campaign are featured. The book contains the major Hebrew leaders such as Saul and David, the invasion of the Assyrians and the enslavement of the Israelites by the Babylonians. Each battle includes a contextual introduction, a description of the action, and an analysis of the aftermath. A specially-commissioned colour map illustrating the dispositions and movement of forces helps the reader grasp the course of the battle. Authoritatively written and with more than 200 colour and black-and-white maps, artworks and photographs, \u003cem\u003eBattles of the Bible Illustrated Atlas\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential companion for anyone interested in Ancient military history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amber Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781838866488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224","brand":"Martin J.
