Children of Ash and Elm: A History of the Vikings

star4.6
Price draws on three decades of archaeology and recent DNA analysis to reconstruct the Viking world on its own terms, from cosmology and gender to trade networks stretching from Newfoundland to Uzbekistan. He argues the Vikings were not just raiders but a sophisticated, cosmopolitan civilization whose diaspora knit together a medieval Eurasia far more connected than the stereotype suggests.
