Product Description
Radical Islam has long desired to seize Jerusalem and cut it off to Christian and Jewish believers. In his revealing new book, The Fight for Jerusalem, bestselling author and former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Dore Gold explains why the battle for Jerusalem is intensifying today. Gold shows why only Israel can preserve its holy places for Christians, Jews, and even Muslims, and why uncovering Jerusalem's past-and the truth of biblical history-can be the key to saving its future.

 | Tremendous May 24, 2008 |
| Rare gem of a book. Wonderful exploration of a difficult history and troublesome subject | | | | A Riveting "Must Read"! Apr 27, 2008 |
Already knowing quite a bit about Jerusalem, I wasn't sure if I would gain anything from the book, but Gold's well-researched book offered interesting and convincing insights on the subject. I learned much about Islam and how early Muslim leaders viewed Jerusalem, and how those beliefs impact the politics of today. I particularly value the sections and photos on the archeological findings connecting Jews to early Jerusalem history. His sections on modern history were fascinating and concisely reminded readers of the chaos, destruction and lack of freedoms that await residents of Jerusalem if Jerusalem were turned over to a Muslim government or the United Nations.
It's a compelling page turner. I recommend it for both casual beginners and experts in Middle East history. | | | | The Fight for Jerusalem Mar 29, 2008 |
| Well written and informative. I learned more about the history of Jerusalem and the motivations behind Islamic claims!! Very good. | | |  | Drivel Mar 14, 2008 |
| Anyone seeking a balanced view of this topic would need to look elsewhere-anywhere in fact. Rather than the 'evil' of fundamentalist Islam many are equally or even more fearful of the expansionist fundamentalism of Zionism. This is not scholarly,balanced,well written,impartial or worthwhile.One star-for the cover | | | | A politically charged yet thoughtfully reasoned exhortation Oct 5, 2007 |
| Former Israel ambassador to the U.N. (among his many other credentials) Dore Gold presents The Fight for Jerusalem: Radical Islam, the West, and the future of the Holy City, a serious-minded discussion of the future of Jerusalem, a city holy to Christians, Jews, and Muslims. The Fight for Jerusalem makes a convincing argument that for Jerusalem to be a free city where all faiths can be practiced, it will have to remain under Israeli sovereignty, because the United Nations cannot be relied upon to protect it and the Muslim Palestinians have become increasingly affected by a branch of radical Islam that seeks to eliminate other faiths from Jerusalem, not co-exist with them. Drawing upon meticulous scholarly research, The Fight for Jerusalem addresses how Palestinians are destroying archaeological evidence of ancient Jewish presence in Jerusalem, particularly on the Temple Mount; how Western diplomatic concessions strengthen the apocalyptic speculations of radical Muslims; how the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza brought more power to Palestinian extremists at the expense of Palestinian moderates; why negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority over the status of Jerusalem have little chance of creating an agreement; and much more. It should be noted that The Fight for Jerusalem specifically denounces the religious intolerance radical Islam, and recognizes that the majority of the Muslim world is not radical, though The Fight for Jerusalem decries the increasing power that radical Islamic factions have. A politically charged yet thoughtfully reasoned exhortation on how Jerusalem, a potential focal point of radical Islam's jihad against the West, can best be preserved for future generations. | | | Write your own review about The Fight for Jerusalem: Radical Islam, the West, and the Future of the Holy City
