All about Viking History
I personally enjoyed learning about the Vikings. It was eye opening to the true nature and true history of their culture.
Exactly as advertised
Very much a compact history book but still very informative. The content can be described as more of a “Cliff Notes” version of Viking history. My only disappointment (and “disappointment” is not in any way a negative critique) is that I was left wanting more in-depth and detailed information. I would highly recommend this as an introduction to the subject of Vikings. I commend the author for the bibliography at the conclusion for further reading. Well done!
Excellent
Informative and to the point.
