Best, because unlike most such attempts hitherto - indeed amazingly, almost all - it's neither too brief, nor disposed in the confusing "thematic" order so often adopted for this period. Instead it's a weighty & substantial - duly *chronological* - account of the Viking era, well grounded too by a thorough & exciting preliminary section on the preceding Late Iron Age / Age of Migrations.
It covers every important event & every facet - military, economic, political, cultural - of the Vikings, & every part of the world where they set their mark, from Kyiv & beyond, to Iceland & N America.
The author is a museum archeologist, not university teacher, & by drawing richly both on the very latest scientific finds - sometimes only a few years old - & on the most ancient & revered primary sources, she accomplishes the feat of telling a *story*. But a modern, scholarly, & updated one.
This story deserves worldwide, respectful translations of its every word, & featuring every single of its many excellent illustrations.… (altro)
