An extremely detailed history

Volume 1 goes from Jewish Pre-history to 135 BCE, through the destruction of the First Temple, the Babylonian Exile, the Secludian Empire, Hanukkah, and ends with the government of Simon. It is written both with detail and with care and I have enjoyed so much of this that I’m looking forward to continuing in Volume 2. A great but detailed read and a classic of Jewish history in ancient Israel.
