Jahrhundertelang fegte ein Feuer durch Europa. Es brannte unaufhörlich und zwang Nationen und Königreiche in die Knie – dieses Feuer kam aus dem Norden. Aufgrund einer Reihe soziopolitischer Auslöser brachen die Wikinger aus ihren nordischen Heimatländern in Skandinavien auf und durchzogen die Reiche Europas in alle Himmelsrichtungen – nach Süden, Osten, Westen und Norden. Meisterhaft beherrschten sie die Navigation der Ozeane und dominierten die Flusswege. Auf ihren schnellen Langschiffen schrieben diese unbarmherzigen Nordmänner ein völlig neues Kapitel europäischer Geschichte.

For centuries, a fire swept through Europe. It raged on and on, putting nations and kingdoms at its mercy, and that fire came from the North. Due to a series of socio-political triggers, the Vikings emerged from their northern homes in Scandinavia and swept all across the realms of Europe - south, east, west, and north. Mastering the navigation of the oceans and dominating the riverways, these vicious Northmen embarked upon their swift longships and introduced an entirely new chapter of Europe's history. Merciless in war and cunning in trade, they found their place in faraway nations.

This book describes the odd coalition between Germany and Finland in World War II, and their joint military operations from 1941 to 1945. This is a topic often missing in English, though in stark contrast to the numerous books on the shorter and less bloody Winter War. That conflict represented a gallant fight of a democratic “David” against a totalitarian “Goliath” that caught the imagination of the world. The story of Finland fighting alongside a “Goliath” of its own has not brought pride to that nation and was a period many Finns would rather forget.

H.F. Ewalds historiske roman "Svenskerne på Kronborg" tager os med tilbage til Svenskerkrigen i 1658-1660, hvor danskerne forsøgte at tilbageerobre Kronborg, der var blevet belejret af Karl Gustav X‘s tropper.
