"…and they laid all waste with dreadful havoc, trod with unhallowed feet the holy places, dug up the altars, and carried off all the treasures of the holy church. Some of the brethren they killed; some they carried off in chains; many they cast out, naked and loaded with insults; some they drowned in the sea." —Simeon of Durham, A History of the Community of Durham
Beginning in 789 CE, the Vikings raided monasteries, sacked settlements and invaded the Atlantic coast of Europe and the British Isles. They looted and enslaved their enemies, terrorizing all whom they encountered.
But that is only part of their story. Sailing their famous longboats, they discovered Iceland and North America, colonised Greenland, founded Dublin, and also sailed up the River Seine and besieged Paris. They settled from Newfoundland to Russia, conquered eastern England, and fought battles from Ireland to the Caspian Sea. They traded walruses with Inuits, brought Russian furs to Western Europe and took European slaves to Constantinople. Their graves contain Arab silver, Byzantine silks and Frankish weapons and artefacts.
Illustrated with more than 200 maps, photographs and artworks, The Viking Warrior examines these fearsome warriors through their origins, social structure, raiding culture, weapons, trading networks and settlements.

One of my friends recently had a birthday and I knew he was a fan of the show on this History channel, This book is not about the series but covers the subject matter of Vikings. I got his this as a gift and after speaking with him, he said the book has some information he saw in other books, but also noted how it had information the others didn't, which is a good thing. He also commented on it being a good read and also said it was interesting. Overall, he liked it and I am happy.Product details

The Viking Warrior The Norse Raiders who terrorised Medieval Europe eBook Ben Hubbard Reviews
Wonderful combination of pictures and history.
Good introduction to viking life. Could use more (and more detailed) maps.
I was really into this book when an out of state friend borrowed it. I thought I had better replace the book because it may be years before I get it back. The book is that good!
