There is no doubt that Josephus was a traitor, the question is: Why? As governor of Galilee, Josephus defeated the Romans at Beth Horon, northwest of Jerusalem, in 66 A.D., led the people of Jotapata in a heroic resistance against soon-to-be-emperor Vespasian in 68 A.D., then capitulated. Josephus took Vespasian’s family name, Flavius, and fought with the Romans in the siege of Jerusalem. Ultimately, Josephus immigrated to Rome where he wrote: “The Jewish Wars” and “Antiquities of the Jews.” Both are classics of the period.
