Explore the captivating history of the vikings

Men like Ragnar Lothbrok, Eric Bloodaxe, Ivar the Boneless, and Bjorn Ironside are portrayed as preying on unsuspecting communities and spreading fear across Europe as they laid waste to all that lay before them, taking what they wanted at the point of a sword.

It is true that the Vikings were, without a doubt, brutal men living in a brutal age. They did use their skills as warriors to relentlessly attack Europe and the British Isles to increase their wealth and territory, but that is not all the Vikings were, and their contribution to world history is far more than warmongering.

A very easy book to read about the Viking story. Although very brief it manages to get across the main events without too much detail. The sort of resource useful as a starting point for further more intense search.

Excellent History of the Vikings

It's a very good introduction for the general reader who wants to learn about the (in)famous Northmen of the early Middle Ages.

in-depth

Much better depth of understanding of the origins of the age of vikings and the impact of vikings on northern Europe is presented. Well organized text with well explained scientific and genetic support for the arguments made. One of the longer Captivating History books--its about time.
