The Wikipedia article on it is interesting, but I would like to learn about it in more detail. In particular, I would like to know more about how it was fought and eventually defeated.
So the wikipedia mentions Cassius Dio as a primary source on the subject. Here is the relevant chunk. He describes a guerrilla conflict, where Jews fought from remote outposts, rather than in open battle. The Romans defeated them by essentially destroying everything, at very high cost in terms of casualties.
