The Jews of Khazaria explores the history and culture of Khazaria—a large empire in eastern Europe (located in present-day Ukraine and Russia) in the early Middle Ages noted for its adoption of the Jewish religion. The third edition of this modern classic features new and updated material throughout, including new archaeological findings, new genetic evidence, and new information about the migration of the Khazars.

Though little-known today, Khazaria was one of the largest political formations of its time—an economic and cultural power connected to several important trade routes and known for its religious tolerance. After the royal family converted to Judaism in the ninth century, many nobles and common people did likewise. The Khazars were ruled by a succession of Jewish kings and adopted many hallmarks of Jewish civilization, including study of the Torah and Talmud, Hebrew script, and the observance of Jewish holidays. The third edition of The Jews of Khazaria tells the compelling true story of this kingdom past.

Review

This third, revised edition of Kevin Brook’s well-received publication succeeds in elucidating controversial issues, while contextualizing the Khazar polity within the competitive ninth- to eleventh-century world. As a full exploration in English of the history and culture of the Khazars, this volume is without equal. -- Edward J. Lazzerini, Indiana University --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Great. Non biased. Full of reliable historical and Generic sources.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 12 October 2018

Great. Finally a non biased book, about the khazars. Who they were, how they came to power, and after thier destruction where they went. When and how the elite converted to Judaism. The book shows that the khazar empire was multi ethnic, economically powerful, a safe retreat for Jews around the known world. Also this book proves the overall consensus that the khazars are not the origin of Ashkenazim.
