About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Stories of the Wars of the Jews by Charlotte Maria Tucker. Read in English by Cliff Stone Stories of the Wars of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity, to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus is a historical narrative spanning Jewish history from 586 B.C.E to 70 A.D. There is no history more fraught with interest, or conveying more important lessons than that of God’s chosen nation. There are no annals which display instances of more heroic courage, faith, and self-devotion and of darker apostasy and crime,—than those of the descendants of Abraham. (Summary by Cliff Stone)
