"The Viking Achievement" is an outstanding introduction to the culture and history of Viking Age Scandinavia. It includes information on laws, society, families, warfare, armor and weapons, archaeology, ships and trade, art, literature and poetry, religion and mythology. The information is carefully based on the scholarship provided by scientific archaeological research and modern literary analysis.

Masterful Study of the Viking Age,
By Thormod Morrisson "Thormod Morrisson" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Viking Achievement: The Society and Culture of Early Medieval Scandinavia (Great Civilization Series) (Hardcover)
This book easily earns the right to be among the foremost textbooks on the Viking Age. A comprehensive study that covers the various levels of Norse society from thralls to jarls, karls and kings. Northern laws are particulary covered well and the varied crafts at which the Northmen excelled: smithcraft, trade, battle, ship building and sailing. There are also very good sections on Viking art and verse. A stand-by book for any serious Norse scholar.

Spot on!,
By Odhin "Mr. Wednesday" (Asgaard, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Viking Achievement: The Society and Culture of Early Medieval Scandinavia (Great Civilization Series) (Hardcover)
The other two reviewers are spot on so I won't waste time talking about what the book is. If you want a definitive book on Viking culture you need to add this one to your collection. One of the best I own on the subject. Interesting and fun to read as well. Not easy to say about alot of history books!
