Masada: The Last Fortress

(3) YA The backdrop for this dramatic story is the defense of the fortress Masada by a handful of Jewish Zealots against the powerful Roman Tenth Legion. Simon ben Eleazar, teenage son of the Zealot leader, swaps chapters with Flavius Silva, commander of the Roman legion. Although the novel gets off to a slow start, it builds in momentum, passion, and clarity with each chapter.
