Description
The Children of Ash and Elm: A History of the Vikings A fresh perspective on the Viking Age, this book challenges traditional views of the period. Instead of focusing on the most famous raids, it explores the origins of the Viking phenomenon, tracing the complex history of Scandinavian society and the seismic shifts that resulted from an economy geared to maritime war. From the eastern American seaboard to Constantinople and Uzbekistan, the narrative ranges across the whole of the Viking diaspora, revealing surprising connections and insights. The book delves into the lives of the Vikings, cutting through centuries of received wisdom to show them as they saw themselves - descendants of the first human couple. This is a history that sheds new light on the Viking world, its people, and their place in the wider world.
