His extensive research on Khazaria resulted in The Rabbi King. The nature of the book also required him to study the geography of the Caucasus and Middle Eastern countries and their histories between 1150 and 1170 C.E. He found the investigatory effort as rewarding as the writing.
This is Mr. Kuttner’s first novel. Previously, he authored several business books and many articles that were published during his career as a Management Consultant. He has an undergraduate degree in journalism and creative writing and an MBA degree.
Between the receipt of the degrees he saw combat service as an Infantry Lieutenant during the Korean War. He later became active in Community Theater, performing locally in a dozen plays over the past twenty-five years.view less
