    About this ebook

    Rising from the blood and ashes of the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte has seized control of the government in Paris. Ever becoming an infamously tyrannical monster, Napoleon's diplomatic and military expansion spread the clutches of the French Empire all throughout Europe and even into Egypt and the land of Israel.

    The Jewish communities of eastern Europe are torn and distraught. Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi (the "Alter Rebbe") is the dynamic leader of the thriving sect of Chassidic Judaism known as Chabad that has spread like a spiritual wildfire. But a vicious internal dispute with those who jealously oppose Chabad has reached unprecedented levels. Now Rabbi Schneur Zalman has been arrested and imprisoned by the Russian authorities in Petersburg under false accusations of treason against the czar levied by his religious opponents.

    As the armies of Napoleon Bonaparte advance throughout Europe and beyond, leaving a wake of wanton destruction and bloodshed behind them, forces throughout the world brace themselves for the ensuing battle. And, with the assistance of Divine Providence, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi must lead his family, his community, and his burgeoning sect of Chassidic Judaism through a seemingly endless gauntlet of both physical and spiritual dangers that stand poised to forever destroy him and everything he loves, including even the Chabad movement of Judaism itself.

    The Dual Luminary - Revelation (Book II) is the sequel and Part 2 of The Dual Luminary - Revolution (Book I). It is the continuation of the story of a rabbi who revolutionized the Jewish world and founded the Chabad Chassidic movement in an era of unspeakable bloodshed, chaos, and violence. It is a historical novel rather than a biography or academic text book. As such, The Dual Luminary - Revelation places you into the throes of the beginning of the nineteenth century, enabling you to experience first-hand the rise and conquests of Napoleon Bonaparte and other key historical events as well as providing a breathtaking glimpse into the unique realms of classic Chassidic Judaism unlike ever before.
