Peter B. Golden is the greatest general historian of the Turkic peoples. He worked at Rutgers University from 1970 until his retirement in 2012. Proficient in various Turkic and Slavic languages, as well as source languages such as German, French, Arabic, Persian, Greek, and Latin, along with Hungarian and Georgian, Golden is also a linguist and distinguishes himself from other historians by skillfully incorporating other disciplines into his works. With over ten books and more than two hundred articles, he has reached the pinnacle of Eurasian historiography. "An Introduction to the History of the Turkic Peoples" is the most important work in the world that compiles all Turkic history into a single volume and serves as a fundamental reference source. The book, published in 1992, has been updated for Turkish editions and contains the latest information. The interest shown in this work in Turkey has become commendable with the rapid reprints. This book covers not only political and ethnic history but also detailed language and culture.
