ORIGINAL EDITION. Koestler advances the thesis that Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from the historical Israelites of antiquity, but from Khazars, a Turkic people originating in and populating an empire north of and between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. Koestler's hypothesis is that the Khazars - who converted to Judaism in the 8th century - migrated westwards into current Eastern Europe (primarily Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Lithuania, Hungary and Germany) in the 12th and 13th centuries when the Khazar Empire was collapsing.

    This book is my fourth or fifth book by Arthur Koestler. My two favorites are "The Act of Creation" and "The Ghost in The Machine". I ordered this one after I saw a documentary on the history of Central Europe and Asia/Russia. I have been attempting to fill in the holes in my sense of history and global motivation and politics. There sure are so many details that are so very significant to how the world is shaped today...

    This book is a very wonderful book and I will read it again to fully digest Mr Koestler’s finding! The beautiful thing about truth is that it usually needs no proof and when it brings light , the darkness has no place!

    Excellent book. Most people have no clue today did the majority of Jews that they meet or no or know about or hear about have very little if any genetic ties to the Israelites or the people in Palastine of the biblical days. Modern day Judaism is the modern creation is nuts isn’t fair resemblance very much of the ancient people this according to the Jewish encyclopedia don’t take my word for it the encyclopedia Judaica. yes book covers I want to see the creation of a people are so much S the conversion of a people that did so in mass by state edict so it’s not Inapropriate you use the term created. We were all created at some point to our beliefs or ideology our faith so it’s not meant as an insult. It just tells of aHistory but not many people are exposed to. It was an excellent read. Enclosing I’d like to say my prayers my best wishes my love for my fellow humans of all people in all religions in all tribes in all groups and all subdivisions there of. A greater understanding of the world around us see opportunities navigate our way through it possibly by disallowing the insane maniacs who love war to win and have their day

    Meandering work, who knows the veracity of the historical details. The basic premise is true. Why else would the existence of this Kingdom be virtually hidden in history. Weasels.
