Feared by the Jews and honored by Rome. Killer of innocents and builder of a kingdom for posterity.
No other king matches his brutality, or his greatness. Discover the real story of Herod, beyond the Bible and the many myths about him.
Seven centuries after the founding of the Roman Empire, Israel, the ancestral homeland of the Jews, is torn between two powerful opposing forces. While the people resist submission and wait for the promised Messiah to appear, the Rome of Gaius Julius Caesar creates a protectorate in Judea with a puppet ruler to enforce the imperial will. But in 37 B. C., the new king of the Jews is Herod, whose greatness will eclipse his role. In his 36-year rule, he will survive every type of plot and conspiracy, perform extraordinary feats and commit horrifying atrocities. He will be known as "Herod the Great," and his name will make history. With breathtaking narrative tension and rigorous historical research, Jos? Luis Corral and Antonio Pi?ero explode the myths about Herod and show us the truth about the man and his ambition.
