The Viking Heart: How Scandinavians Conquered the World by Arthur Herman
3.0
I received a copy for free in exchange for an honest review; my thanks to NetGalley and the author!
A well-written and exciting theorem on how the Vikings and the Norse peoples have influenced world affairs since bursting onto the scene post-Western Roman Empire.
The author goes to great lengths, sometimes a bit too great for my tastes, to prove his ideas, some of which I question. Hard to fault this book though, it is incredibly readable and digestible as a history.
