      PROLOGUE

      How do I know that Hanukkah was the first successful guerrilla war for national liberation and religious freedom in recorded history? It all started with an ancient Book of 8 drawings made by an artist who was actually there in 167 BCE (Before the Christian Empire). This Book’s drawings corroborate the story of Hanukkah as it was passed down to me through generations of the Faybusovich and Harris families.
