A native of Stockholm now living in Salt Lake City, far from the danger of Viking raids, Sprague looks at the warfare waged by the sea-faring raiders during their three-century domination of the seas around Europe. Her topics include living hard and dying with honor, building the ship, weapons and armor, the Rus in the Varangian Guard, Rollo the Pirate 860-933, and Harald Hardrade 1015-66.
