Jerusalem is unique: the capital of two peoples and the shrine of three faiths. Some of history's most recognisable and powerful characters have shaped it, from Cleopatra to Catherine the Great, Napoleon to Churchill, and Ben-Gurion to Arafat.

Many have claimed Jerusalem belongs only to them, but its stories belong to many. In this beautifully illustrated book, historian Simon Sebag Montefiore tells thirty of the most remarkable stories in the city's 3,000-year history. By explaining the Middle East's political, religious and ethnic divisions, from 1000 BCE to 2000, the book becomes an essential guide to understanding today's world.

Based on the seminal classic Jerusalem: A Biography, and vividly brought to life by illustrators Rui Ricardo and Catherine Rowe.
