Jerusalem : rebirth of a city / Martin Gilbert. - 1st American ed. - New York : Viking, 1985. - xvii, 238 pages : illustrations ; 26 cm.
"Elisabeth Sifton books." Includes index.
Bibliography: pages [228]-233.
The book explores how Jerusalem evolved from a neglected, disease-ridden town under Ottoman rule into a vibrant, modern city. It chronicles the influx of Jewish immigrants, Christian pilgrims, and European interests, all of which contributed to its physical and spiritual renewal. Gilbert highlights the development of infrastructure, education, and health services, and he traces the roles played by key individuals and communities in the city’s rebirth.
Through maps, archival documents, and personal narratives, Gilbert captures the city's diversity, complexity, and central role in the national revival of the Jewish people.
This work serves both as a historical narrative and a tribute to the resilience and spiritual significance of Jerusalem.
