This is the first in a series of four historical fiction novels based on the writings of the eyewitness Josephus. In Act I of the book one begins to wonder if it was fate, destiny, or some divine plan that brought four very different travelers together in a struggle to survive what should have been a routine trip to Rome. These new friends and their families somehow found themselves playing critical roles at a focal point in the history of western civilization. For as winds helped to spread the great fire in Rome, they also carried embers east toward Judea, where they threatened to ignite a conflict that would forever change the world for Jews and Christians. In between the historical events of that time, there's the story of the people involved. You get to meet them in Cry for Jerusalem.
Book 2 Against All Odds is the second book in a series of four entitled Cry For Jerusalem, and is the story of the first Jewish Revolt in 66-70 CE from the perspective of the people involved and the eyewitness accounts of the historian Josephus. Two thousand years ago, men and women were driven to act by the same emotions, needs, and wants as they are today, . In Cry For Jerusalem Book One, we experienced how such actions forever changed the world for Jews and Christians, and met our main cast of characters: Yosef, Nicanor, Cleo, Sayid, and Miriam. In Book Two of this series, the epic saga continues its sweeping arc from Rome to Jerusalem, from Antioch to Galilee. Ancient history comes to life through the actions of historical figures, and events unanswered by history become plausibly explained. You'll read of the Siege of Yotapta (Jotapata) where thousands of Jews died fighting Roman legions--against all odds--in one of the bloodiest battles in Jewish history, witnessed and chronicled by the famous Jewish historian, Josephus. You'll follow the developing story behind the legendary (but real) Copper Scroll, considered "the most uniques, the most important, and the least understood" of the Dead Sea Scrolls. This scroll describes the locations of the Temple treasure moved from Jerusalem to be hidden--assumingly--from the Romans (but has never been found). You'll learn of the factions and dissension that weaken Jerusalem, and the intrigues within the Roman Empire leading up to the Year of the Four Emperors and the civil war that would then shape the empire for decades. The Great Fire in Rome, started by Nero and covered in Book One, still figuratively burned and had triggered a series of events that would end with the burning of Jerusalem and its Temple in Book Four. What professional reviewers are saying about Cry For Jerusalem so far in Book One: "The story seeps across a first-century world that's diverse, gritty, and laced with tension. Everything is supported by an incredibly well-researched foundation. The time period and social customs are delightfully developed... there is political and religious strife, moments of ancient beauty, and well-developed characters to carry the plot forward." --Historical Novels Review Issue 91, February 2020 "The plot is as gripping as it is historically edifying, remarkably authentic, and rigorously researched. At its conclusion, readers will be left impatient for the book's sequel. An impressive blend of historical and dramatic fiction." --Kirkus Reviews June 2020

Combination Acts draws together fifteen years of conversations with artists, musicians, activists, and theorists about the nature of collaborative practice. Taken together these dialogues provide a series of study notes for and from the self-organisation of the undercommons, gesturing towards an aesthetics that occupies a space of power for itself by coming to close to, but never finally reaching, a set form.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW AND ECONOMIST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR “A deeply reported, deeply personal history of Zionism and Israel that does something few books even attempt: It balances the strength and weakness, the idealism and the brutality, the hope and the horror, that has always been at Zionism’s heart.”—Ezra Klein, The New York Times Winner of the Natan Book Award, the National Jewish Book Award, and the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award Ari Shavit’s riveting work, now updated with new material, draws on historical documents, interviews, and private diaries and letters, as well as his own family’s story, to create a narrative larger than the sum of its parts: both personal and of profound historical dimension. As he examines the complexities and contradictions of the Israeli condition, Shavit asks difficult but important questions: Why did Israel come to be? How did it come to be? Can it survive? Culminating with an analysis of the issues and threats that Israel is facing, My Promised Land uses the defining events of the past to shed new light on the present. Shavit’s analysis of Israeli history provides a landmark portrait of a small, vibrant country living on the edge, whose identity and presence play a crucial role in today’s global political landscape.
