Josephus Flavius, a Jewish historian and military commander, was an eyewitness and participant in the Jewish revolt against Rome in 66-73 AD. After being taken prisoner by the Romans, he gained the trust of Emperor Vespasian and devoted himself to writing the history of this conflict. His "History of the Jewish War" is not only a chronicle of events, but also an attempt to understand the causes of the uprising's defeat and to present the Jewish perspective on these tragic events.

Flavius' work covers the period from the Maccabean revolt in the 2nd century BC to the fall of Masada in 73 AD. The author describes the hundred-year rule of the Maccabean dynasty, the reign of Herod the Great, the anti-Roman uprisings, and finally, the culmination of the conflict - the siege of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Second Temple. His account is full of dramatic details, descriptions of battles, political intrigues, and personal tragedies.
