A History of the Vikings: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "A History of the Vikings" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This Dover edition, first published in 2004, is an unabridged republication of the work originally published in 1930 by Charles Scribners Sons, New York.This enthralling, well-documented, and vivid account chronicles the activities of those bold sea raiders of the North who terrorized Europe from the eighth to the eleventh centuries. A dramatic narrative takes readers from the White Sea in the Arctic to Africas Moroccan coast, from Viking operations in Russia, England, and Ireland, to daring exploits in Iceland, Greenland, and America.Written by a former curator of the British Museums Department of Medieval Antiquities, the volume is one of the first complete accounts of the Nordic raiders. Amply illustrated and written with freshness and vigor, this perennially appealing story of conquest will be valuable to scholars and students of Nordic history.
