The Khazar Empire (ca 650 - ca 965-969), was one of the largest states of medieval Eurasia. Turkic in origin, it played a key role in the history of the peoples of Rus', medieval Hungary and the Caucasus. In the ninth century, the Khazars converted to Judaism. This book sheds light on many unanswered questions regarding the Khazar Empire.
