Viking Warrior-Viking Hersir 793-1066,
By Styrbjorn "Styrbjorn" (Lancaster, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Viking Warrior: With visitor information (Trade Editions) (Paperback)
This book has some good illustrations for re-enactors to make replica weapons, but you should know that this is just a re-release of Osprey's Viking Hersir 793-1066 AD. This release has a different title and different cover, so I was misled into buying it again, but I am returning it. If you don't have Viking Hersir, I suggest you get this book. It's not very in depth, but does give a good overview of various aspects of the Viking warrior.
