Ragnar Lothbrok and a History of the Vikings: Viking Warriors Including Rollo, Norsemen, Norse Mythology, Quests in America, England, France, Scotland, Ireland and Russia

It's a very good book. Gained new knowledge so that's a plus!!

I have been watching 'Vikings' the TV show made for the History channel. This raised several questions about the Vikings. I bought this book to learn more about the history of the Vikings. Noah Brown has done an excellent job of handling the subject matter; He breaks it down by different regions that the Vikings raided. This book is well documented and goes along with a lot of the history I was sure was true. As the Vikings did not write down their adventures, most of what we know about them is from other people's history and Viking mythology.

In the old days I have become more interested in viking history, but had to buy some abroad because they cannot be brought in Sweden. It will be interesting to read about Ragnar Lothbrok. Maybe something is right with the good TV series.

bad riding all over the place

A lot of very interesting information but it could have been presented better. The information is arranged by subject area and jumps around, it is not in chronological order. There are no maps, which would help the reader immensely. Based on the interrelationship of the subject personnel, a family tree or diagram that maps out relationships would be extremely useful. An index woukd also be of significant use. Surprisingly for a book that has been through editions, there are several typographical errors.
