Great Britain Editorial Review
River Kings: The Vikings from Scandinavia to the Silk Roads offers a profound exploration of Viking history, turning prevailing theories upside down. Author Harman presents intriguing evidence suggesting that 'Viking' was more a creed than a racial identity, challenging the notion of Vikings as mere violent thugs. Instead, she highlights their roles as long-distance traders based on new archaeological findings and scientific analyses. Readers appreciate the accessible storytelling, making complex research understandable. This book not only delves into trade and human migration but also revolutionizes perceptions of how Vikings influenced Eastern Europe and beyond, making it essential reading for history enthusiasts.
