The effectiveness of five brothers will identify a country. My Glorious Brothers is the epic report of possibly the most breathtaking chapter in the annals of Israel, a stirring story of courage for those who like to find meaning for today's world in the great events of record. After witnessing a ransacked and desecrated Jerusalem, Simon and his four brothers - soon to be known and revered as the Maccabees - rise to lead an earthshaking rebellion. Their story has almost no parallel in history. Theirs was the will, fireplace, and unbending nature that encouraged the amazing rite of Hanukkah, changing a modern culture of farmers and scholars into an unconquerable military that would wage the first modern fight for flexibility and the first win for religious flexibility. Master storyteller Howard Fast recounts the story of great battles, brutal atrocities, and undying love and devotion. Nonetheless it is also a delicate and sure picture of the people and an age group, in which the mood of a little but spirited portion of mankind two thousand years back is recreated with gripping authenticity.
