Review: Concise Viking history told with some style.

The author tells the story of the development of the Viking culture, it's scope and range and its effect on the Dark Ages. Though a serious history, the author often takes tracts from the many Norse Sagas so I have no idea whether that affects the validity of the history, but it does make it move with some pace and style. Lots of larger than life heroes and villains and lots of violence in the telling, which one would expect from a Viking history.Having just finished watching the Vikings History Channel TV series, this book could have been produced to accompany it.Enjoyed both; the book and the TV Series.
