THIS POWERFUL BOOK proposes never before recognized links between the culturally vibrant Etruscan people and long forgotten Jewish communities. No one has previously suggested an enduring and intimate link between these two dynamic cultures. The Etruscans and the Jews is written as an adventure story that expands our understanding of both the lost Etruscan people and the Jewish diaspora. The story travels forever west. It flows from ancient Israel to western Turkey then to Italy, Sardinia, and France. Nineteenth century immigrants from Europe carry their mixed heritage across the Atlantic to America. The discoveries woven into Wolf's investigation may be simultaneously unsettling and thrilling to readers who will begin to wonder: Could I be part Etruscan?
In his new captivating book The Etruscans and the Jews, author Peter Wolf tells a story that is personal yet global... he brings to life millennia-old links between Jewish and Etruscan groups across an ancient sea and beyond.

The odyssey takes him to Etruscan burial chambers, Sardinian ruins, the Pantheon in Rome, Spain, Alsace-Lorraine, tracing not just the shards of the Etruscan past but the twisted road of the Jewish diaspora. A fascinating story. There's much to ponder here.

In his fully engrossing exploration, Wolf offers valuable insights into the complex and interconnected nature of the ancient Mediterranean civilization inhabited by the Etruscans and the Jews as he argues for a deeper understanding of the factors that likely linked these two beleaguered cultures.
