Can any of u recommend a good book on seljuks?
I have read rice tablot , but didnt find it covering all of the seljuks,
prefer a author with heavy credentials, trustworthy not something anybody would write.

There isn't much about them written in English. Turkish books are better and more numerious.

is it true that seljuk ancestors were judaic? allegedly served in hazarian troops then left hazars and joined oguz tribes and converted to islam?

That was a theory once developed because Seljuk's sons had Judaic names. It was presumed that Seljuk might have served in the Khazarian court during his youth because the Oghuz were once vassals of the Khazar Empire. However there are no evidences in the sources that can confirm this.

I know very well that persians and caucasians/armenians disseminate these theories of jewish lineage of seljuks, but thanks to russian decent scientists such stupid allegations are rejected.As wrote great Al-Biruni about the most ancient kingdom of turks in Hwarezm – Kanghoy, Kanguys,Kangli, kangeresses,bajinaks-pechenegs, I think that origins of oguzs ensued from there, Afrasiab also from there, Kay-Kous may be same with Oguz?
