 Rated 9/10
koestler makes a very strong case that by far the great majority of modern european (and, therefore, the vast majority in the americas and israel/palestine) jews are descendants of the turkic khazars and the local populations in the lands they migrated into, after the destruction of the khazar empire.°
but this is by no means the only argument or logical proposition made in this absorbing account of a period of history in lands invaders have swept over from north and west, as well as - and mostly - the east: this is a very good read.

° - the existence of the khazar empire is little-known in europe and the americas, but well-attested to in modern turkey and in both some european, and in turkish historical documents and reference books including historical atlases.

 Intriguing book which suggests that modern European Jews are not descended from the twelve tribes of Israel but from the Khazars of Asia who converted to Judaism in the Middle Ages as a political move.
