This is a well written explanation of recent developments in archeology, linguistics and physical anthropology directed at determining the origins and history of the peoples know labeled as Celts. It has more detail than a casual reader is likely to assimilate, but would be an important addition to the library of anyone with an extensive interest in the subject. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
The heritage of the Celts turns up from Portugal to Romania, from Scotland to Spain. Yet debate continues about who exactly were the Celts, where ultimately they came from, and whether the modern Celtic-speakers of the British Isles and Brittany are related to the Continental Celts we know from ancient history. So a fresh approach is needed. Blood of the Celts meets this challenge, pulling together evidence from genetics, archaeology, history and linguistics in an accessible and illuminating way, taking the reader on a voyage of discovery from the origins of the ancient Celts to the modern Celtic Revival, with some startling results.

Unfortunately the Celts vs Romans chapter feels rushed, just trying to enumerate the Roman conquest of lands previously occupied by Celtic speaking people.
I have read several books about and around the Celts in the past few years and this is a very good supplement to those books. However, it is too concise and assumes too much prior knowledge to be a good introduction. ( )
