About this title: Viking marauders in their longships burst through the defences of ninth-century Europe, striking terror into the hearts of peasants and rulers alike for two centuries. But the Vikings were more than just marine warriors and this atlas shows their development as traders and craftsmen, explorers, settlers and mercenaries. With over sixty full colour maps, it follows the tracks of the Viking merchants who travelled deep into Russia, of Viking mercenaries who served in the emperor's bodyguard at Constantinople, and Viking mariners who sailed beyond the edge of the known world to North America.

"I love these Penguin Historical Atlases. They are a great, cogent introduction to their subjects---just the right amount of information for the "amateur" (you have to pronounce it with a hard T, like John Gielgud in "Chariots of Fire"). I don't have time for these 800-page tomes by the David McCulloughs of the world. But 96 pages with lots of pretty pictures? Can do. And I learned tons."
"I found my copy of the Penguin Historical Atlas of the Vikings in a used bookstore called Idle Times, located in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC. One of my favorite used book stores in town. They have two levels, which means plenty of room to meander and find something you weren't looking for. Like this book. It was layed out on one of the steps to the second floor, one book for each step. Great display idea, you can't help but look."
