  • Descrição: Given the novelistic style of the book, there is little discussion of key issues: the nature of Josephuss sources, his role as a propagandist, or his reliability for reconstructing the eventsof this period. The narrative opens and closes with the symbolof Masada: the preface is entitled Masada Shall Not Fall Again, while Seward concludes that the sacrice of those who committed suicide at Masada rather than surrender to the Romans restored Josephuss pride in his nation, inspiring him to write two later works on Jewish religion and civilization and a defense of Judaism. Important studies of the role of the myth of Masada in cultural memory, ideology, and national identity, such as Yael Zerubavels Recovered Roots: Collective Memory and the Making of Israeli National Tradition (University of Chicago Press, 1995) or Nachman Ben-Yehudas Sacricing Truth: Archaeology and the Myth of Masada (Humanity Books, 2002), are crucial for assessing Josephuss account Keith W. Whitelam is emeritus professor of biblical studies at the University of Shefeld, U.K. 126 JOURNAL OF PALESTINE STUDIES and its contemporary uses.
