Review: Finally -- Who Were these Normans, Anyway?
Rating: 5 out of 5

This book is a very readable history of the origin of the Normans, what their influence was throughout Europe in the Middle Ages and a little into the Middle East. As with most histories, it is not an enthralling page-turner, but it does an excellent job of pulling together the migrations and impact of these people.  If your knowledge of the Normans doesn't go much beyond knowing where Normandy is, and William the Conqueror's 1066 invasion of England, you will find this book quite eye-opening.  I would read it again.
