Reviews

"Regev's book has the potential to receive as much attention as e.g. Mendels' Rise and Fall of Jewish Nationalism (1992)." -- Friedrich T. Schipper, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2015.02.48 "Regev does a fine job of observing and articulating what he sets out to do in the beginning: reconstruct the Hasmonean narrative." --James S. Lee, Review of Biblical Literature, 7.9.2015
