Two thumbs way up!
The book opens with a scene ma.my of us have played over in our minds when the word, Vikings, is mentioned - that if large, chain-mailled men swinging axes and Lippi.g off the arms if even women who stand between them.and anything they wanted to take as a prize? After the recap, the author poses the question of whether or not this group of people really were that type, and did they deserve to carry that image forever? I had never given it a thought, so from the first page, my interest had been captured. There are many aspects of this book worthy of mention: the dates, locations, names and historically accurate information, without a doubt, are some of those things. But the author did such a great job in the writing, it felt as if we were having a conversation in which I actually learned a few cool facts about the Vikings - this did not feel like a lame history lesson, although it could certainly be used as a source for additional information if a history report had to be written for school. I will be keeping this book.
Great information and discoveries
There is so much a out the vikings I did not know. The runestones were such a varied concept. I did. Of realize that they were used to convey history and legends about vikings past deeds. To see how the Gods were at interacting with each other and the monsters of the time was fascinating. This was a great read. Of course, I would have lived it to be longer. I want tol know more about these mysterious people from the North.
Fascinating Compact History Review
Review: VIKINGS: HISTORY OF VIKINGS by Michael J. Stewart
A fascinating, even exciting, look at the history, culture, nature, and mythology, of the early Scandinavians or Norse: the Vikings. This compact yet inclusive history is one I expect to return to often. Well-written and succinct, this book us a great introduction as well as a refresher review of the culture of old which gave us the Runic Alphabet, raids, and an interwoven mythology.
Very Interesting....
Very Interesting book. With Vikings being all the rage with the Vikings TV show on the history channel and Game of Thrones i chose this book to get to know more about the culture and the times. Highly recommend reading this one!
