Highlights:

"Die Kelten" offers a broad survey of Celtic history, culture, and language, tracing developments from the earliest archaeological evidence to modern political history.

The introduction would benefit from a discussion of critical analyses of the Celtic concept’s historical development, which show how archaeology, linguistics, politics, and identity shaped the myth of an "ancient Celtic community".

A short outlook could have discussed the role of natural sciences, especially aDNA analysis, in contemporary debates on ethnicity and the political use of Celtic heritage.
