Jews in Revolt

Jews are said to be noted for their resilience, resilience defined as the ability to successfully react to stress and maintain calm in the face of adversity. In the prologue to his Jews vs. Rome, Barry Strauss calls the survival of the Jews "one of history's great cases of resilience," and at his book's close, he notes that it has been "a story of resilience. … Ancient Jewry is one of history's great examples of how a people can lose on the battlefield and yet prevail."
