Guidebooks to what is perhaps the most contested parcel of land on the planet: The Temple Mount (Har ha-Bayith) from the Jewish perspective, or the Noble Sanctuary (al-Haram al-Sharif ) from the Moslem perspective. The last pamphlet here was issued under Jordanian auspices in 1966, just a year before the site fell into Israeli hands in the Six Day War (June 1967)
