Resumen del Editor

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 Captivating Guide to the Viking Age

The author is giving historically accurate information, although in a pretty brief and congested form, keeping the crucial facts in-line which keeps the whole account more dynamic and equally captivating.

Very interesting

The last chapter of the book is basically a conclusion, which I appreciated because of the tone, demystifying any kind of prejudice or pre-thought about this beautiful and passionate Scandinavian culture. “Vikings are much more than mere barbarous thugs and pillagers that modern stereotypes might make them out to be.”

I recommend it

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.
