Find out the truth about the Vikings with History of Vikings: From The History of Rune Stones to Norse Mythology by Michael J. Stewart. Stewart takes you beyond rumor and speculation and into the real world of the Scandinavian seafarers known as the Vikings. You’ll get the true story, not an oversimplified Hollywood myth.
