Judah Irving A. Greenfield

Praise for Irving A. Greenfield: ?ANCIENT OF DAYS is brutal, brilliant, raw, and ultimately true.? ~The New York Post Judah the Hammer, they called him. The leader in the story of one of the bloodiest repressions and uprisings in Jewish history, an uprising that overturned the relationship with their Greek overlords of the Seleucid Empire ?those who stormed the temple in a surprise massacre and demanded no less than eradication of the Jewish religion. Bestselling author Irving A. Greenfield vividly illustrates how Judah and his brothers changed everything in a war for religious freedom, the astonishing events celebrated as the Festival of Lights.
