By the second century BC, Israel had long been under the rule of the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire. But the policy of Hellenization and suppression of Jewish religious practices sparked a revolt, led initially by Judah Maccabee. This book explains the causes of the revolt and traces the course of the various campaigns of the Maccabees.
