In this interview Matt Crawford speaks with author Arthur Herman about his book The Viking Heart. We all think we know Vikings, but what do we actually know about them? For most I believe it is a caricatured version of an amazing people. Herman disabuses us of that view and details these impactful people and their beautiful culture. Scandinavians have shaped both our ancient and current world in ways still felt today. This is a detailed and exhaustive work that is easy to get lost in.
