A solid introduction to the Vikings and their Influences on English history, this work is fascinating and a great choice for beginners or students. It's a good starting point for further research and covers roughly 300 years, from early raids and invasions to the cultural impacts. Part of an enjoyable series.

The first part looks at the history of Greece from 7000BCE to the 1900s AD, broken down into four parts: the Neolithic Age to the Bronze Age Collapse, the Archaic Years to the Roman Conquest, The Roman and Byzantine Periods, and New and Modern Greek History. This is a compact history of Greece, looking into the evolution of eras and the impact the history has to today. The book is structured with rhetorical questions and narrative quotes to make the content engaging and informative.

The second part looks at Greek Mythology from From Chaos to Uranus to The Odyssey and the Return of Heroes. This part shows an overview of the Gods and Goddesses followed by their interaction and stories that are known today, such as Herakles and Hera. These myths exist to demonstrate human nature.

Overall, a great insight into the events and myths.

The book delves into the history of Vikings from 793CE to 1066CE, providing illustrations and photos to accompany the text. The book is separated into four parts: the Viking age, Viking life, armoury, and Norse mythology.

The first part of the book delves into the five tribes: Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole, Muscogee Creek. The book also looks into six additional tribes:
- Shawnee
- Pawnee
- Sioux
- Navajo
- Comanche
- Apache (an umbrella term)
The rest of the book looks at cases and wars and ultimately the question of freedom. The structure is coherent and this is a quick and informative read.
