Judges - J. Alberto Soggin

The author is a master of his material and disposes it with impressive ease and sureness of touch, so that the lines of thinking remain firm and clear and the achievement of John Bowden, the translator, in making such a book limpid reading is no less remarkable. The author's familiarity with the Holy Land and his love of clear topography bring the book to life and keep the racy character of some of the stories of the book vibrant' (The Tablet). For this second edition, bibliographies have been substantially updated, and a number of corrections of details have been made to the text.
