The Vikings by Frank R. Donovan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thoroughly fascinating exploration into the annals of history--around the 8th-11th centuries--centering on the exploits of the feared/fearless peoples from the North, Norsemen, more commonly known as the Vikings. This reading was inspired by the Vikings series from the History Channel that we've been watching, and the desire to learn a bit more background on my ancestors, as I'm half Swedish by heritage. The Vikings went farther & wider than believed, and were responsible for reshaping the history of Europe and the West more than most people know.
