Jerusalem in the Twentieth Century

"...it says something for Gilbert's ingenuity that he has...found something new to say, and by the simplest of means. He has alighted on a mass of old guidebooks, memoirs, newspaper articles, private correspondence, and personal diaries, and gutted them for perceptive observations and colourful details....It may all seem effortless, but the result is immensely readable, for it evokes not only the history of the city but the feel of the place, its sights, its sounds, even its smells..."Gilbert, Martin is the author of 'Jerusalem in the Twentieth Century' with ISBN 9780471283287 and ISBN 0471283282.
