In this worthy addition to the Elite series, Ian Heath transports us to the time of the Vikings examining their epic journeys and the ships they made them in.
Their methods of warfare are covered, including the organisation of their armies and tactics employed, their appearance and equipment and the general history of these fascinating warrior-explorers. His authoritative text is backed by many fine illustrations and photographs including 12 stunning full colour plates by Angus McBride, one of the world's most respected military artists.
Ian Heath is a highly respected author, and has written a number of books for Osprey Publishing, including MAA 89 Byzantine Armies 886-1118 and Armies of the Nineteenth Century, a five-volume project covering the armies of 19th-century Asia. Ian lives and works in Cambridgeshire, UK.
Angus McBride was one of the world's most respected historical illustrators, and contributed to more than 100 books for Osprey Publishing over several decades. He worked in advertising agencies from 1947, and after national service, emigrated to South Africa.
