"This is the first comprehensive investigation of the fortification of the Holy City, and its scope is matched by its thoroughness. The depth and detail of the synthesis is unique...W. has made a masterful and enduring contribution to our understanding of the extremely complex history of the walls of Jerusalem. This book is indispensable." (J. Murphy-O'Connor, Revue Biblique 102, 1995, 433-7)
