Travelling the Holy Land in the early 1930s, between the Ottoman rule and the founding of modern Israel, Morton wrote as he saw, and has the capacity to make the reader see it as well. Travel writing is also time travel - and this book is a time machine to early Israel, the coming of Christ, the Roman Empire, the Crusades, the Ottomans and World War I. He visits Jerusalem, Jericho, Hebron, Caesarea, the Dead Sea, the Sea of Galilee, the great Crusader castles Krak de Chevaliers and El Kerak and the city of Petra at a time when these places were not tourist traps; he meets Bedouins, Abyssinian monks and the inhabitants of Bania. There's certainly something here for the historian, the adventurer and the scholar of Christianity. Illustrated with sepia photographs.
