P. T. Deutermann The Last Man

Given the tectonic power shifts taking place in the Near East these days, this book is dedicated to the fond hope that Israel will survive, both as an island of modernity in a sea of resurgent medievalism and as an outpost of democracy in an increasingly barbaric world.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I want to thank my editor, George Witte, for letting me do this one after so many years, and also my copy editor, India Cooper, for doing her usual excellent job with the manuscript. Rick Cavey gave me invaluable advice on the diving technicalities; any errors there, whether intentional or not, are of my own making. The Ministry of Tourism in Israel was very helpful. Finally, I want to acknowledge the power of the Masada site, itself. There’s nothing quite like it in the world.
