Summary 'The Holy City of Jerusalem has been the spiritual focus for three major world religious-Judaism, Christianity and Islam-for more than three millennia, having been established as the centre of the state of Israel, and witnessed both the Prophet Muhammad's ascension into heaven and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Jerusalem: The Illustrated History of the Holy City takes the reader on a journey from the very origins of Jerusalem to its present-day status as the possible key to peace in the Middle East, and covers the period of the rule of King David, Jerusalem's role as the focal point of the Crusades, the Jewish expansion in the City in the Nineteenth century and the cultural boom the city experienced in the 1960s.'
