The Viking Heart
About this book
A captivating and compassionate account, Arthur Herman underscores that the Viking world transcended chaos. It embodied the spirit of striving beyond one's given circumstances, undeterred by challenges. As The Wall Street Journal puts it, we could all draw inspiration from the Viking heart. From a New York Times best-selling historian, this grand narrative traces how Vikings and their descendants molded history and America. Once isolated in Scandinavia's rugged landscapes, they ventured out, leaving indelible marks from Rome to Russia, and eventually, across the Atlantic, where their legacy ignited the American Dream. Herman weaves a gripping tale, backed by cutting-edge archaeology and DNA research, revealing the universal significance of the Scandinavian experience and its enduring, unyielding spirit.
