Product Description

Viking marauders in their longships burst through the defences of ninth-century Europe, striking terror into the hearts of peasants and rulers alike for two centuries. But the Vikings were more than just marine warriors and this atlas shows their development as traders and craftsmen, explorers, settlers and mercenaries. With over sixty full colour maps, it follows the tracks of the Viking merchants who travelled deep into Russia, of Viking mercenaries who served in the emperor’s bodyguard at Constantinople, and Viking mariners who sailed beyond the edge of the known world to North America.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book on the vikings, 4 May 1999

By A Customer

Despite it's title this book is far more than just an historical atlas of the Vikings. Only a fifth of the books is devoted to maps as the rest of the book uses text, and a very good world timeline, to tell about the world during the Viking era. The book tells about the arts history and the literature of the Vikings, however it is the chapters on the Viking expansion, both eastwards and westwards that the book with its colourful maps is able to explain and lllustrate best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Introduction, 19 Sep 2004

By	Mr. A. T. Young "devoncollector" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This excellent book is perhaps more of a coffee-table book than a serious textbook - it has wonderful photographs. It does just scratch the surface on some aspects of Viking life, but as an in depth introduction to the subject, it's very, very good.
