Book Synopsis

"A wide range of topics are covered, from the equipment and training of the individual warriors to the overall structure of their campaigns. There is also an interesting section on the world view of the Viking warriors and their contemporaries." --HistoryofWar.org

The Vikings had an extraordinary and far-reaching historical impact. From the eighth to the eleventh centuries, they ranged across Europe--raiding, exploring, colonizing--and their presence was felt as far away as Russia and Byzantium. They are most famous as warriors, yet perhaps their talent for warfare is too little understood. Philip Line, in this scholarly and highly readable study of the Viking age, uses original documentary sources--the chronicles, sagas, and poetry--and the latest archaeological evidence to describe how the Vikings and their enemies in northern Europe organized for war.
