The Viking Heart: How Scandinavians Conquered the World by Arthur Herman

3.0

Essentially a Greatest Hits of Scandinavia, from Gorm the Old to Fridtjof Nansen. First part is a typical norse history, but then expands into all the derivative empires (Normans, Rus, etc.) ending with a heavy emphasis on Scandinavian emigrants to the US.
