About the book
Those who undertake to write histories; do not; I perceive; take that trouble on one and the same account; but for many reasons; and those such as are very different one from another. For some of them apply themselves to this part of learning to show their skill in composition; and that they may therein acquire a reputation for speaking finely: others of them there are; who write histories in order to gratify those that happen to be concerned in them; and on that account have spared no pains; but rather gone beyond their own abilities in the performance: but others there are; who; of necessity and by force; are driven to write history; because they are concerned in the facts; and so cannot excuse themselves from committing them to writing; for the advantage of posterity; nay; there are not a few who are induced to draw their historical facts out of darkness into light; and to produce them for the benefit of the public; on account of the great importance of the facts themselves with which they have been concerned. Now of these several reasons for writing history; I must profess the two last were my own reasons also; for since I was myself interested in that war which we Jews had with the Romans; and knew myself its particular actions; and what conclusion it had; I was forced to give the history of it; because I saw that others perverted the truth of those actions in their writings.
