First published in 1980 to accompany a major BBC Television series, this book explores the myth and the reality of Viking culture. The Vikings have a traditional image as fierce sea-warriors, but recent archaeological discoveries in Europe and America show them in a new light - as the greatest traders of their day and as explorers who extended the boundaries of what was to Europe the known world.
