The Maccabee Rebellion

Lions of Judea Series, Book 2

By: Amit Arad

Narrated by: Bruce Mann

No one believed they could survive, but they refused to forsake their faith

Judah Maccabee is no longer a youth, but a great warrior and the unchallenged leader of the Jewish People.

He leads his people to victory after victory on the fields of battle and diplomacy, shocking the leaders of the mighty Seleucid Empire.

Relentlessly, the armies of the empire are sent to crush the rebellion in Judea. They will do anything to eliminate the Maccabee army and suppress the Jewish faith.

But although the Maccabees are massively outnumbered, they have no choice but to overcome their foes. They know that their defeat would be the end of the Jewish People.

This is the incredible story of the Maccabees, who transformed a nation of rustic farmers and priests into a steel hard army which won eternal renown.

Review

Important historical account. The reader tries to do differant voices both male and female.They made the historical charater from the maccabees into a personal intimate detailed drama about his early life in the begining of book one which was overly wordy and not needed.To me the begining part could have been left out in the first book.But over all its a great story.
