Mr. Cahills book offers an interesting and controversial take on history. He is an excellent and compelling writer, but his differentiation between pre and post diaspora Israelites when discussing the Celts in several of his books is not always clear.

It was only the post-Babylonian diaspora Southern Kingdom Israelites who came to be known as Jews, around 500 BC.

It was the post-Assyrian diaspora (721 BC) of the larger ten-tribed Northern Kingdom Israelites who became what we today call the Celts. It is they who are both the Island Celts who populated Ireland, Scotland, Wales, etc., and their cousins, the Continental Celts who sacked the Roman Empire under many Celtic tribal names and who make up most of northwest Europe today.

The author could perhaps clarify this part of his presentations on European history by reviewing losttribes.net or any other modern Celtic site based on contemporary archeology.

One star is way to many for this SCHMUCK! As a French Jew I do not need to be dictated to by a member of the least worthy of Europes gentile population. The author made so many factual and editing errors that I am shocked that the publisher let it slip by. As others have pointed out the whole series "hinges Of history is bad revisionism." Do not waste your time or $ !!!!!!!
