It is history in the grand manner, an absorbing saga of prophets, priests, and pilgrims, kings and conquerors; the story of a city besieged, defended, conquered, damaged or destroyed, and rebuilt forty times in thirty centuries-always in the name of God. Mr. Idinopulos's narrative is as rich, intricate, and spectacular as a religious tapestry. \u003cbr\u003e\"A massive and impressive work ... sublime, thrilling, and anguished history.\"-R. J.
