The Jewish War

I'm curious about the historical context and personal motivations behind Josephus's detailed narration. Did he aim to inform, justify, or preserve his people's history?

The characters feel more layered than I expected, which made me wonder how much of that was Josephus’s own perspective versus historical fact.

Considering Josephus’s unique position as a former Jewish rebel turned Roman historian, I wonder how much his narrative reflects personal bias versus objective history.
