Northmen: The Viking Saga, Ad 793-1241 by John Haywood

4.0

Entertaining, fast paced, comprehensive account of the Viking age. Everything is so epicly shakespearean, there are so many names that come and go, so much brutality and backstabbing, sudden and unexpected deaths from royalty that changed whole countries and their foreign relationships out of nowhere. In the larger parameters of history nothing has changed, really. But at least we have junk food and videogames.
