4.0 out of 5 stars An intelligent summary of what the vikings actually were., 30 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Sawyer's book is an exploration using current research of what and who the vikings were. Far from the blood thirsty raiders of Bede and the chroniclers, or the peaceful traders of modern hopes, it shows the vikings to have mingled both activities. It shows them essentially to fit the pattern of European barbarions in the 4th Century. It does so with readability and with strength- revelations about trade in Birka for instance are very interesting.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good Introduction to analysis of Norse/Viking society, 28 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This book needs to be read after gaining a basic knowledge of Viking society. The book teaches you how to analyse evidence from that era, its problems and advantages. It tells you about the law codes that historians base their analasis of social structure on, and the problems of using these codes. As well as society it deals with the sources of evidence for settlement and raiding patterns. After reading this the reader would be well prepared to move onto looking at specialised academic papers on this topic.
