White endpapers, no inscriptions. 320pp including index, profusely illustrated with colour and b/w photographs, b/w line drawings and maps throughout text, pages clean and bright in firm binding. The author explores in this book the myth and the reality of Viking culture. The Vikings were fierce sea warriors, ruled over by men called Svein Forkbeard and Harald Blue-Tooth, worshipping Thor and Odin. But new archaeological discoveries in Europe and America are showing the Vikings in a new light, as the greatest traders of their day; as explorers who extended the boundaries of the known world across the Atlantic to North America and eastward through the hinterland of Russia to Turkey and the Mediterranean. The Vikings are now revealed as architects, town dwellers and craftsmen. Archaeology is bring back to life those warrior heroes whose exploits are captured in the Norse Sagas and whose influence can still be traced, a thousand years later, in our Western civilisation.
