In this book. Arthur Koestler advances the thesis that Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from the historical Israelites of antiquity, but from Khazars, a Turkic people. Koestler's hypothesis is that the Khazars converted to Judaism in the 8th century, and migrated westwards into Eastern Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries when the Khazar Empire was collapsing.
The Thirteenth Tribe eBook Arthur Koestler
This book is packed with details of ancient history from many peoples in the Caucasus region, not just about the Khazars, and you will be as surprised as I was to learn of these many hidden details of these peoples. If you enjoy history, this is the book to get. The only downside of this book is that it is advertised as being 318 pages and the paperback edition I was sent was only 255 pages. There seems to be 63 pages missing. I don't know if this will have any bearing on the message Koestler wanted to convey or not, but I wanted everyone to be aware of this discrepancy. Overall, it was still well worth getting from the information it contained and I believe, from other sources that I also know of, that Koestler proves his thesis of the Khazars NOT being ethnic Jews, since even their own King Joseph gives a detailed linage proving heritage back to JAPETH, NOT Abraham, and scholars have verified the authenticity of this record. We all have our own particular "beliefs" that we can justify to not believe what Koestler states in this book but it's kind of hard to argue with facts. As Benjamin Disraeli once said: "There are lies, damned lies, and statistics" and this book is loaded with statistics that can't be argued with nor refuted, just ignored or not believed!!! Get the book get educated, and you decide the Truth of what is presented.Product details

The Thirteenth Tribe eBook Arthur Koestler Reviews
Great book to read a lot truth is in this book so much truth he lost his life for writing it .
This is really interesting, though confusing to keep the areas straight as the names aren't the same as they are now. I bought this because I met a bus driver who said he wasn't a Jew (he was wearing a mezuza, which was odd in itself), because he belonged to the 13th tribe, and suggested I read this book.
I've read this book several times in the past - but not on the Program. As a repeat; I've reviewed this book several times many years ago. As for the book itself, I can easily see that it would raise eyebrows among many in the World Jewish Community. All Jews would like to be blood-related to the 12 Biblical Tribes of Israel (the Chosen Ones.) . Well, this book is an eye opener for many. Since this book has been written - now with the discovery of proven DNA - many - especially among tribes of Cohen; much has been recorded and Mr. Koesler is apparently correct. In any event, it's well worth reviewing.
A masterful work I should have read years ago. An incisive look into a group of people who saved Europe in the throes of Muslim military hostility at a key point in history. Very fast paced and does connect historic dots and fills in some blanks.
This book make a very interesting read, if you read the first five books of the bible you will know these people are not the people of the bible. I am disappointed this book did not attempt to find out who are the house of Isreal.
I had no idea how interesting the history of places I had never heard of, and times I knew nothing about, could be! This picture of one tribe in the dark and middle ages in Europe and Asia filled in many gaps in my knowledge and kept me eagerly turning pages, while marvelling at the extraordinary grasp of detail the author displayed.
I thank R. Roth for his update about genetics. All readers should acquaint themselves with his review, and, please, fellow readers, don't blame Arthur Koestler for not knowing what had not been discovered yet!
I really enjoyed this book. Its about 200 pages, with about another 50 in references. It shows conclusively that the majority of European, or Ashkenazi Jews, are descendent from Europeans that converted to Judaism and have no physical connection to Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob.
The book is a fascinating history of the Khazar kingdom that flourished for about 300 years in what is now known as Ukraine, with its prime at about 850 AD. It was an emerging practical trend for countries/kingdoms/states to adopt in mass one of the four major Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Islam, or one of the two Christian branches of Roman Catholic or Greek Orthodox. But at that time the religions each had powerful leaders whose strength was used to dominate and extract money from its member kingdoms. So the Khazar king choose Judaism to be different from each of his adjacent states.
It also goes into great detail about the emerging states and kingdoms around Khazaria that evolved into today's Poland, Hungary, and Russia. It provides a clear picture of invading Vikings sailing down the Volga river from the Baltic Sea, cutting across the Volga-Orr portage, and continuing to the Black Sea.
This is not a novel, or a historical novel, but a well researched history book on a focused subject. But I picked it up I couldn't put it down -the writing was that clear and the subject that interesting.
After 9/11 and terrorist Osama Bin Laden giving six reasons for attacking the US, with Israel and support of Israel being four of them, we are all interested in what exactly we are supporting there. We have been told that we are supporting Jews; Jews who are a semitic people descendent from ancient Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And we have been told that they were so persecuted up until and during WWII that the only solution is to give them their own country out of what was once their own country.
The creation of Israel created lots of problems. It created a humanitarian nightmare with the Palestinians who lived and live there. We, someone 6000 miles away, gave their home to someone else 1000 miles away. But what the book does is show us beyond any reasonable doubt that the European Jews might need compensation or a solution for their situation, but their claim to being the 'Promised' is unquestionably a false one.
Whatever your motivation for reading this well-written book, I hope you find it as fascinating and enlightening as I did.
