Book Reviews of The Vikings: Revised Edition
Book Review: A reliable introduction
Summary: 5 Stars
It is not easy to describe a culture in an average size paperback. This book does a worthy job of it. By refraining from unnecessary verbiage, the author has given a fairly comprehensive and detailed, yet readable, introduction to life in the Viking culture.
Whether you are a school student with a history project, or a Viking enthusiast, This book will give you a nicely rounded view of Viking life. Home, commerce, warfare, literature, and technology, are all covered in satisfying detail without being too academic or dry in style.
