Overview
Enthralling, well-documented, and vivid account by a leading authority on the subject chronicles the activities of those bold sea raiders of the North who terrorized Europe from the 8th to the 11th centuries. Abundantly illustrated, the volume will be invaluable to scholars and students of Nordic history. 12 plates and 40 black-and-white illustrations.Synopsis
Originally published in 1930 by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, this history was one of the first complete accounts of the Northmen who expanded the known world and terrorized Europe from the 8th to 11th centuries. Kendrick, formerly with the British Museum, traces the Vikings' rise and fall and exploits from Russia to America. Illustrations include maps and artefacts. A new introduction with updated scholarship would have been helpful. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
