The Vikings famously took no prisoners, relished cruel retribution,
and prided themselves on their blood-thirsty skills as warriors.
But their prowess in battle is only a small part of their story,
which stretches from their Scandinavian origins to America in the
west and as far as Baghdad in the east. As the Vikings did not
write their history, we have to discover it for ourselves, and that
discovery, as Neil Oliver reveals, tells an extraordinary story of
a people who, from the brink of destruction, reached a quarter of
the way around the globe and built an empire that lasted nearly 200
years. Drawing on the latest discoveries that have only recently
come to light, Neil Oliver goes on the trail of the real Vikings.
Where did they emerge from? How did they really live? And just what
drove them to embark on such extraordinary voyages of discovery
over 1000 years ago? VIKINGS will explore many of these questions
for the first time in an epic story of one of the world's great
empires of conquest.
