Product Review Summary: Vikings Osprey's third title in the Warrior series, this book combines twelve beautiful plates with both informative and absorbing reading.
Product Review Summary: Viking Hersir Yet another great one from Osprey. Great easy to read info and history on Vikings and the illustrations are flat out amazing. Highly recomended for anybody interested in the Vikings as well as reenactors and SCA types!
Product Review Summary: It's About The Viking Warrirors, Not Just the Hersirs The hersirs were apparently the Viking commanders, but this book is about the Vikings whether they were commanders or not. As in the other Osprey books, a prime reason for getting the book is the illustrations. If you want to know what the Viking might have looked like who killed the English king's reeve Beathuheard with an axe to the head in the late 8th centuries, check out these drawings. The Vikings were scary dudes.
Product Review Summary: Halfway There Does little or nothing on its supposed thesis of showing the development of the hersir from the free farmer-warrior. Too much space wasted on showing a system of catagorizing swords which then is never used to show anything. One of the worst things I've ever seen from Osprey, though still an okay book. You are better off getting the Elite series #3 on Vikings.
