[Erik Graff · Rating 4 out of 5]

As an introduction to Norse culture and achievements during the 'dark' and early middle ages this will serve well. It's dated, yes, having been written in the fifties, and it's a translation, having been first published in German, but the author, a Swede, was a hands-on authority, and the translator did a really good job in producing a readable text.

[Adam Heckathorn]

Although this is an old book in a fast moving field it is worth reading to have a well rounded understanding of the viking era. They were pretty amazing in the amount of the world they explored and the impact they had for a couple hundred years.
