Traditionally, the Vikings have been understood in a straightforward way--but the period really comes alive if you take an unexpected approach to its history. Yes, ships, raiding and trade have a fascinating history, but so too do hair, break-ins, toys, teeth, mischief, luck and silk  Each of these subjects is equally fascinating in its own right, and each sheds new light on the traditional subjects and themes that we think we know so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSam Willis \u003c\/b\u003eis a historian who has made 12 TV series for the BBC and National Geographic, including \u003ci\u003eThe Silk Road\u003c\/i\u003e, and has written 14 books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Struggle for Sea Power \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e In the House of Victory\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eJames Daybell\u003c\/b\u003e is a historian who has written eight books and appeared in a number of historical BBC TV documentaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 7.9 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 01, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769115377952,"sku":"9781786497710","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/8b89b70fd73a00a8ba9f2759b3f2c76c.webp?v=1780342493","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/histories-of-the-unexpected-the-vikings-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
