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

challenging dark informative inspiring medium-paced

3.0

I really really want to like this book, but it doesn't live up to its promise to analyze the history and present of the Scandinavian character. It's just a long, tedious recitation of facts from 2000 years. His writing style is laborious and kind of backwards, so even his telling of the story of Knute Rockne is difficult to plow through. And there's no analysis.
