Viking Armies

Tales of legendary Viking armies have stood the test of time, still capturing the imagination of historians today and giving a glimpse into the ferocity and tactical proficiency with which these warriors fought over 1000 years ago. In this book, Gabriele Esposito examines a period of 273 years and gives an overview of the histories of the different factions and incarnations of the Vikings, as well as their most famous campaigns and battles. Furthermore, their weapons, armour and clothing are brought to life through over 120 colour photographs of replica equipment in use by reenactment groups from across the world.
