The author describes the history of the canal, one of the oldest engineering enterprises considered by civilizedman. He relates how ancient Egypt, Persia, and Rome all succeeded in linking the Mediterranean with the Red Sea before it became one of the great issues of the mid-nineteenth century.With great clarity, and not withoutirony, the author traces the inner story of de Lesseps' project and triumph, and goes on to show how his ideal of an inviolable waterway dedicated to the service of man gradually became over-shadowed by war and the political ambitions of the great powers.The latter part of the book deals withthe Second World War, the Suez Crisis of 1956, and the Six-Day War. First the clash between an Egypt proud of her newly won independence and a Britain contending to maintain the strategic interest of the Commonwealth and the North Atlantic Treatypowers. Secondly, the Arab-Israel conﬂict which has led to the longest continuous closure of the Canal.This, then, is an excellent book for allthose who wish a concise survey of thebackground, history, and politics of theCanal.

The Jewish Brotherhood of the Essenes flourished in the Near East at the time of Jesus. Knowledge of their teachings and way of life was sketchy until the spectacular discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which helped to decode the sect's writings and its prophetic and medical skills. The scrolls also revealed the existence of a mysterious personality among the Essenes called the True Teacher or Teacher of Righteousness, Prophet and Lawgiver, whose real name and identity were concealed by supporters. In this clear and informative book, the fruit of years of research, the Essenes emerge from the darkness of the past. Dr. Schonfield has unearthed evidence of the Essenes' influence down through the centuries on orders such as the Freemasons and Templars as well as on Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism and Islam. This is a truly fascinating journey through one of the early influences on the Christian church.

The Passover Plot shows us the historical evidence that Jesus was a mortal man, a young genius who believed himself to be the Messiah and deliberately and brilliantly planned his entire ministry according to the Old Testament prophecies - even to the extent of plotting his own arrest, crucifixion and resurrection.
