Martin Goodman provides a comprehensive examination of Flavius Josephus’s seminal account of the First Jewish-Roman War. By situating the text within its first-century context, the author analyzes how Josephus navigated his complex identity as a Jewish aristocrat and Roman client to craft a narrative that has profoundly influenced Western historiography for two millennia.
