Great Author


I always wanted to learn more about the Vikings. I found the information interesting and a good diversion during my daily commute. I think I understand their anger and retaliation a little better having read about forced conversions.

very good


The book was ok but skips over the Vikings were raiding England and Europe. The background information was interesting but moved into the Christian period with little discussion of trade and society.
