    About this audiobook

    Known for their fighting prowess and instilling fear into those they besieged, was there more to the Vikings than marauding? The Introduction to the Vikings Audiobook takes you on a voyage through history that considers more than just their atrocities, looking at their impressive innovations in travel, trade and technology. You’ll also learn about the Vikings as a people, examining their society and religion and how they adapted to global changes.

      I thought is was very good as a course, to be elaborated on in class. There is some details I never heard before so all in all a worthwhile listen.
