Bezalel Bar-Kochva's military-historical academic study of the Maccabean Revolt, reconstructing its campaigns and battles from 166 to 160 BCE through close analysis of the two Books of Maccabees alongside the surviving Seleucid administrative and military record, and weighing the ancient accounts' own numbers for reliability rather than repeating them uncritically.
