UNCENSORED.Koestler advances the thesis that Ashkenazi Jews are not descended from the historical Israelites of antiquity, but from Khazars, a Turkic people originating in and populating an empire north of and between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea. Koestler's hypothesis is that the Khazars - who converted to Judaism in the 8th century - migrated westwards into current Eastern Europe (primarily Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Lithuania, Hungary and Germany) in the 12th and 13th centuries when the Khazar Empire was collapsing.

"This is a history book through and through. Don't expect much in terms of the implications of the findings. The author is a brilliant historian but the writing is a bit dry. So don't expect to run through this book unless you're a history buff.
The author seems to spend the majority of the book proving the so-called jews of today are not of semetic origin. But then, instead of facing the overwhelming consequences of said proof, he sort of chickens out and goes into damage control mode for the jews. In short, he's more interested in historical facts than the political/social consequences of those facts.
That was a bit dissappointing, but that doesn't stop the text from being exhaustingly thorough in its research. The "fun" conclusions of said discoveries will be up to braver writers to face."

The Thirteenth Tribe Arthur Koestler Books Reviews
- This book has to be one of the most amazing pieces of historical research of the twentieth century. It resolves so many historical questions and enlightens current events in a way that few other books do. Among the questions that get clarified by this book are
• The real non-semitic, Caucasian origin of Ashkenazi Jews.
• Why Ashkenazi Jews look “whiter†than their Sephardic or Mizrahi counterparts.
• Why has Eastern Europe always been home to so many Ashkenazi Jews.
• The real, non-biblical origin of the “Star of Davidâ€.
• The origin of the obsession of Ashkenazi Jews with the land of Israel.
• Revelation 29.
It’s strange that the author, himself a Zionist Jew, at the end of the book included a lengthy discussion about the implications of his study, where he argues that even though most modern Jews are not ethnic Jews, that should not deprive them of the right to possess the “Holy†land (!?)
Perhaps he included that little epilogue with the intention of avoiding his assassination (which he did not achieve) for publishing such inflammatory research; but the consequences of this work are undeniable, and it shatters to pieces the claim that the ancestors of most modern Jews ever lived in the land of Israel (not that the “promised land†claim should anyway have any validity to deprive a whole people —the Palestinians— of their rightful home). - This is a history book through and through. Don't expect much in terms of the implications of the findings. The author is a brilliant historian but the writing is a bit dry.

The "fun" conclusions of said discoveries will be up to braver writers to face. - I'm not sure of the motivation of behind the negative reviews about this book. It is very well written, logical, and backed by numerous references. I've studied the biblical scriptures for many years and the bible clearly describes the skin color and hair texture of the ancient Jews, including the Messiah Himself. This book is controversial because the truth has always offended. The current occupiers of Israel are not the bloodline descendants of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. They are gentiles. And as it is written, they will continue to occupy the holy-land until the second coming of the Messiah.
- 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.
