Description

A.P. THORNTON is an historian of the British Empire, European imperialism, and international affairs. He has published six books and is Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Toronto. "There is a unique imperial city beyond Europe, one that classifies all tourists as pilgrims: a place where three of the world's monotheistic religions have managed to make their house, but not their home. Jerusalem, so far from being monarch of all it surveyed from a headquarters secure within a City upon a Hill, has been coveted and violated by Canaanites, Jews, Romans, Babylonians, Persians, Arabs, Turks, British, and Israelis. Its magnetism has drawn to it more willing people than any secular imperialism ever did, or ever thought of conscripting."
