Viac o knihe
This book explores the history of the ancient Khazar Empire, a significant yet largely overlooked power in Eastern Europe that converted to Judaism during the Dark Ages. Ultimately destroyed by Genghis Khan's forces, the Khazars are believed to have migrated to Poland, contributing to the foundations of Western Jewry. Flourishing from the 7th to 11th centuries, the Khazars may seem distant today, but their legacy has a surprising relevance in our world. At the same time Charlemagne ruled in the West, the Khazars held sway from the Black Sea to the Caspian, playing a crucial role in halting the Muslim advance against Byzantium. This positioned them precariously between the Eastern Roman Empire and the expanding Islamic world. As the author notes, the Khazars represented the "3rd World" of their time, choosing an unexpected path by converting to Judaism to resist both Christian and Islamic pressures. The book speculates on the fate of the Khazars and their influence on the racial and social heritage of modern Jewry, supported by a wealth of meticulously detailed research.
