The book that the reader holds in his hands is one of the classic expressions of the genre of popular science literature dedicated to the Viking Age. J.P. Capper views the British Isles as a gathering point where the destinies of tens of thousands of Scandinavian warriors intersected and wove into a single tangle. The Viking Age began and ended on British soil for the West. The author traces the fates of the most prominent personalities who became symbols of the era and about whom the domestic reader sometimes knows not so much. A detailed analysis of what happened in Scotland, Ireland, Orkney, Shetland and the Hebrides will be a valuable tool for many to fill in the gaps in information about the Vikings. The structure of the book allows you to clearly feel that during the Viking Age, a good half of the Old World was united, and the Vikings played one of the most important roles in this process.***Translation of the book: Douglas Parode Capper.
