Carta Books - Understanding the Maccabean Revolt (167 - 63 BCE) - An Introductory Atlas; Michael Avi-Yonah; Shmuel Safrai; Ze’ev Safrai
This fantastic introductory atlas follows the story of the Maccabean's revolt against Antiochus IV Epiphanes' harsh decrees against the Jewish people and their religion. He forbade religious practice and turned the Jewish Temple into an alter for Greek gods; the Jews - led by Mattathias and his sons - led the revolution against the Greeks and Hellenization. This book details the Maccabis' struggle and eventual victory using maps, illustrations and photographs.

Shmuel Safrai (1919–2003) was the emeritus professor of Jewish History of the Mishnaic and Talmudic Period at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Ze’ev Safrai is professor emeritus in the Martin Susz Department of Land of Israel Studies at Bar Ilan University in Israel.
