Interesting pop-scientific retelling of the conflicts between the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings under the reigns of Canute and Ethelred the Unread. Speed-read for my thesis.

5.0
As much a broad overview of English politics from 970 to about 1080 as it is about the feud between a couple of noble families in Northumbria that lasted that long.

I have owned this book since 2003, so it was about time I read it! Everyone had amazing names, Eric Bloodaxe probably being the best.
autiger239's review against another edition
Wasn't a bad book I just was not really that interested, and there are too many other things that I want to read right now. And I think I would rather learn about "germanic feuds" by reading the Icelandic Sagas or the Eddas or even Beowulf.
