Summary
The Voices of Masada by David Kossoff is a haunting and powerful retelling of the tragic siege of Masada, where Jewish rebels made their last stand against Roman forces. Through a series of fictionalized yet deeply human monologues, Kossoff brings to life the voices of those who lived, fought, and died on the desert fortress. Each character’s testimony is rich with emotion, spiritual conflict, and the agony of impossible choices. This unique narrative approach personalizes history, transforming an ancient event into an intimate exploration of faith, courage, and sacrifice. Kossoff, known for his storytelling finesse, masterfully evokes the struggle between survival and honor, making this a compelling read for those interested in Jewish history, historical fiction, and philosophical reflection. Published by Vallentine Mitchell in London (1973), this hardcover edition with protective Brodart cover is a collectible piece in excellent condition.
