Description

The Thirteenth Tribe: The Khazar Empire and Its Heritage by Arthur Koestler The Khazar Empire, a major power in Eastern Europe during the Dark Ages, has a fascinating history that may seem remote today. Yet, its impact on our world is still evident. This book explores the history of the Khazars, who flourished from the 7th to the 11th century, and their surprising method of resisting both Western and Eastern pressures. The Khazars chose to convert to Judaism, a decision that had a lasting impact on the racial composition and social heritage of modern Jewry. The Khazars' history is intertwined with the major world powers of their time, including the Eastern Roman Empire and the followers of Mohammed. Their position was precarious, and their conversion to Judaism was a bold move. Arthur Koestler's detailed research sheds light on the ultimate faith of the Khazars and their place in the world. This book offers a unique perspective on the Khazar Empire and its significance in shaping the modern Jewish community. With 192 pages and a hardcover binding, this book provides a comprehensive look at the Khazar Empire and its enduring legacy.
