Highlighting the latest archaeological evidence, Julian Richards goes beyond the image of Vikings as bloodthirty warriors to reveal the full Viking world, including what we have learned about their towns, art, shipbuilding, and religious rituals.

The result is a fascinating new look that will illuminate who the Vikings really were.
