O Jerusalem!

History & Biography

“Set by the former Mandelbaum Gate, flashpoint/checkpoint between East and West Jerusalem, St. George’s Cathedral and College are symbols of this collision of cultures. Stephen Need captures this vividly. Religion, politics, and archaeology spring to life. To encounter those who formed it makes compulsive reading. Never been to St. George’s? A visit becomes irresistible. Stayed there already? Your memories will send you back!”
