I downloaded a PDF version of History of Jewish Wars from CCEL and am working on reading it.
I was wrong, I downloaded from Gutenberg.org. Thanks for posting this reminder, I'm back to reading it. Never realized that Hero's was considered the 'good guy' there for a while and that the Jews practically invited the Romans into Judea.
