The Viking Heart: How Scandinavians Conquered the World

byArthur Herman

The Viking Heart is Arthur Herman's historical account of how Scandinavians Conquered the World. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Together, these elements make The Viking Heart an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
