I read this engrossing 500-page book from cover to cover. Its selections -- chronicles, sagas, prayers, poetry, runic inscriptions, illustrations -- immerse us in Viking values and accomplishments. The 15 chapters are organized topically to examine social structures, Norse religious beliefs and conversion to Christianity, attitudes toward life and death, the roles of women and warriors, and magnificent ships. We follow Ketil Flatnose into the Hebrides, Rollo to France where he becomes duke of Normandy, and the Danes who conquered and ruled Anglo-Saxon England. We see how King Magnus Barelegs dressed to kill, or how Vikings became mercenary soldiers to Byzantine Emperors. Icelandic sagas recount feuds and social values in a king-less society. Brief introductory passages preface the book and its selections; references to editions and translations lead readers to the full sources excerpted here. I recommend the book for anyone interested in Vikings or the central middle ages.
