Josephus Flavius, The War of the Jews
In his first work, Josephus reports on the war that had just come to an end. The Jewish rebellion had lasted from 66CE to 74CE, and Josephus's work was published in 75CE. The author himself was a member of the Jewish aristocracy who had commanded the troops that constituted the first line of defense in the Galilee and were among the first to surrender. His intended audience is Roman. The work means to explain how it was possible for the Temple of God to be destroyed.The book therefore represents a mixture of autobiography and objective historiography, a unique genre by ancient standards.
