description: This diary, kept by a foreign correspondent and resident of the city, is an intimate account of the ninety-day ordeal and its effects on the lives of the men, women and children of Jerusalem, including the rapid deterioration or living conditions and the desperate attempts to break the siege. Levin accompanied military operations in and around Jerusalem, and travelled along the Burma Road, which the Jews build secretly by night across the mountains in an attempt to break free.
