Description: | Select Guide Rating A history of Viking Weapons & Warfare Written from the point of view of the Viking warrior and those who had to face him, this book details the design and construction of the weapons used by the Norse peoples we have come to call the Vikings. Twenty-three years of re-enactment experience and research have given the author an unparalleled breadth of experience in the practical recreation of the past. He has smelted iron and forged weapons, fought in battle and commanded others, built Viking ship replicas and sailed them. In this extensively revised edition, Kim Siddorn brings a vanished age to life with over a hundred drawings and photographs detailing the clothes and wargear of both Viking and Saxon. |
