About this ebook
The saga of the Vikings rises and falls on the banks of history, ebbing and flowing with popular opinion and whimsical anecdotes. The Vikings are routinely typecast and labeled anywhere from bloodthirsty tyrants to valiant heroes. They have been condemned as pirates and praised as explorers. We have all heard the stories of the fierce warriors with long ships and horned helmets storming onto the shores of medieval Europe; but who were these men really?

Spelling errors and other editorial issues mar an otherwise decent
encapsulation of the Viking era. Enjoyable read, nonetheless.

This book does a thorough job of explaining many key elements of viking history concisely. It also has a few notes of humor. A quick, easy, and informative read. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick and concise overview of the key elements of viking history.

Fantastic books, really effective. But I think more books should be created
on other world famous personalities like, Einstein, Newton ,Faraday,
Humphrey Davy and a lot more. Otherwise, I loved your books ,Hourly
