Over one thousand years ago, kingdoms across Europe were changed forever as the Vikings sailed in. Prepare here to board an iconic Norse ship and be transported into the battles, the legacies, and the everyday lives of these intrepid warriors. From buried treasure to noble laws, to murderouos myths: this the story of the Vikings. The Vikings were the original explorers with a legacy going back to 800 AD. Popular culture thinks the 1600s was the Age of Discovery when Europe discovered the Americas. Did you know some of the most exciting days of seafaring expansion took place close to a thousand years before that when a group of seafaring Scandinavians departed their homelands for the British Isles, seeking great power and prosperity at all costs? For the next three centuries, the daring voyagers pillaged and plundered their way to a vast kingdom, and in the process, developed new trade routes, spreading everything from commerce to art to language from the Far East to the New World. The pages of this book will take you into the Norseman's universe - their daily lives and ritual deaths. We’ll explore the magical mythology of the Norse gods, go behind-the-scenes of the hit History series Vikings, and examine their lasting legacy on the today's world. We even cover pop culture too — much of Game of Thrones was based on the vikings (and countless other shows and movies too). Here, in these richly illustrated pages, is everything you need to know about the medieval warriors of the sea.

“A marvelous book. . . . shows where Patrick O’Brian and C.S Forester got all their stuff from, but is more exciting than either.” —Times Literary Supplement The Sea Warriors is the true story of the great frigate captains of the Nelsonic Royal Navy who spent long and arduous years away from their homes fighting for king and country, to win and hold control of the seas. Richard Woodman skillfully dissects the events of the war years, focusing on the cruiser war, that war between opposing frigates that entailed the blockade of enemy ports, the interception of enemy trade, and the protection of Britain’s merchant ships. The whole magnificent sweep of this great struggle is set against its political background of the Napoleonic wars and the sea war with America. With this narrative come an extraordinary array of young, daring, and hugely skilled frigate captains whose ability to grasp the chances offered by war made them household names in this savage age. Some, like Warren, Pellew, Cochrane, and Collingwood, are still renowned; others are here rescued from under the shadow of Nelson as the author recounts their brave and brilliant exploits. As well as the thrilling accounts of sea battles and single-ship actions, the author describes the darker side to life at sea—the constant danger and harsh discipline, the wearying monotony of sea-keeping, the scourges of disease, and the occasional outbreaks of mutiny. All this is brought together in a stirring narrative by one of Britain’s finest naval writers. “A superb Napoleonic war study” —Daily Telegraph

Excerpt from Deep Sea Warriors: With Four Illustrations by the Author First Of all let me remark that this shipping before the mast is not as easy as outsiders think. I had been a week in Calcutta, spent my last pice, and done a forty-eight hours' fast before I had the luck to bump up against Zack Slaughter.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter vii the fight At the earliest signs of daybreak, when I had scarce been in bed an hour, we were roused out to heave up; and we gained the deck just in time to see the sun appear, like a gigantic red beacon, looming through the white mist. Almost immediately the air, which had been miasmatic and chilly, began to grow warmer, until at last the temperature became that of a hothouse. And, as the sun put forth his strength, the wreaths of vapour overhead gradually thinned away. Our first sight of the outer world was the tugboat's top hamper; then, here and there, a few of the highest palms ashore began to show. Slowly the view opened; the jungle seeming to rise out of the grey thickness abeam as if it had suddenly started to grow, like Jack's beanstalk. Meanwhile there was something closer at hand, something aboard, which drew everyone's attention and wonder. For, in the grey morning light, the Benares appeared as if transformed into a gigantic cobweb, which, with a fairylike beauty, sparkled with countless tiny globules of moisture. During the night millions of invisible spiders must have been at work, weaving their gossamer threads over everything, till the vessel showed like a phantom barque, covered from deck to truck with a silken netting. As the sun burst through the fog-bank these threads, with their clinging beads of water, underwent a wonderful transformation, for every ray and beam of light became reflected, until the whole fabric of the Benares glowed a warm pink, as if her rigging had been suddenly painted a brilliant rose-madder by a multitude of unseen spirits. Beautiful as the sight was, it did not please Zack Slaughter, for I heard him telling the bosun that both the fairy cobwebs and the vivid colouring of the sunrise...

The Vietnamese Marines were a proud and well disciplined combat force, generally committed on short notice for independent or joint ground operations. They were the fire brigade of the Armed Forces of South Vietnam. Little has been known or written about one of the most elite combat units of the Vietnam War -- the Vietnamese Marines -- until now. This is their story and that of their American Advisors (CO VANs) who served with them; it is a book of lasting value with personal stories and photographs from the Marines who were there. While others abandoned and retreated, the Vietnamese Marines fought and died with their U.S. Marine Advisors by their sides -- not one major Vietnamese Marine Corps unit surrendered! This is not only the story of the Advisors and the U.S. Advisory unit but also, the history of the Vietnamese Marine Corps that evolved in 1954, from a few naval commando and French riverine force units, through nineteen years of never-ending combat into a highly elite military organization; a unit fiercely proud of its accomplishments and fighting ability, a unit that symbolized the title Marines. Warriors of the Sea is the book that finally tells the true story of the Vietnamese Marines and provides an insight into the courage, leadership, dedication and tenacity of another skilled group of Marines -- the US Marine Advisors -- who lived with, advised and trained their Vietnamese counterparts. It is through them that you are shown at close quarters the action, heartbreak and humor, violence and terror of combat alone. The heat, monsoon rains, smells and sounds with the strangeness of the Orient comes alive on each page. For Marines of all eras, it is a must for your library; for the historian, hobbyist, and the military enthusiast it is a collectors item. There are rare photographs, like the French Marine Advisors; original color plates of the Marine medals, patches, flags and uniforms. Anyone interested in Vietnam and the elite forces who fought there will relish the viewing and reading about the honorable heroics of the Sea Tigers and their American Advisors."
