### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well Written, Very Interesting
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2015*

Not a real "how to" manual for HEMA/ARMA or other European martial arts enthusiasts, but still a great read. As it pertains to the weapons and techniques, Short basically explains the various common Viking weapons, and talks about how they were likely used, drawing on martial arts research, historical data, and clues from the Norse sagas. Again, it is not presented as a fighting manual, so much as a discussion of the topic. What makes this book great is that along the way, you get exposed to a ton of Nordic history and culture, told through the lens of combat research. Well written, engaging read, I highly recommend.

    Good Resource
  

*by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2018*

A good read...but wish was longer and more detailed. Possibly a new addition with more detail and containing additional information.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent!
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2010*

This wonderful book fills the gap that has existed since the publication of Oakeshott's "The Archaeology of Weapons" and Davidson's "The Sword in Anglo-Saxon England." Synergistically combining the physical and literary evidence of the past with modern reconstruction and interpretation, the text brings the sagas to life while giving us a deeper understanding of how the Viking thought about and may have used the weapons of the day. The profuse & diverse illustrations bring out many subtle details of the artifacts that are typically not found outside of obscure archaeological reports and add a deeper context to the mix. A welcome addition to the Viking literature.
