It also gives a reasonably clear explanation of how the Vikings developed and operated.But oh, dear. I don't think I have ever read a book so littered with errors. There are typos or other mistakes on virtually every page. It's as if a first draft has been bashed out and never proofread or edited. The author refers to the Vikings' descendants when he means ancestors, refers to 'millennia' (plural) when he means 'millennium' (singular), 'Edmund' the Confessor instead of Edward the Confessor, a leader suing his army instead of using his army and my particular favourite, archers using bows made of 'ewe' (female sheep) rather than 'yew' ( type of wood). Some of the descriptive panels accompanying illustrations bear no relation to the pictures concerned. I could go on but you will have got my point.I was very surprised at Haynes allowing this donkey to hit the bookshelves in such a state. I hope that they get round to publishing a corrected edition.I'm usually very generous with my star ratings and if this book had been up to standard, I would have given it a 4 or 5. As it is, I think I'm being very kind in giving it a 3. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Viking Warrior has much to recommend it as an introduction to the subject *by L***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 27, 2018* Amused to see Haynes Manuals (bought for my 70s VW Beetle and Hillman Avenger) under this new guise. Well worth a place on my shelves, for the excellent maps, photos and illustrations of Viking warriors, reconstructed villages and ships, clothes and weapons photographed at very authentic looking re-enactment events and a survey of the history. In 150 pages you get a lot more detail than in the Osprey books. However, the use of the conditional perfect (warriors would have ...) betrays the lack of hard evidence and usual use of much later sagas as sources. The copy editors seem to have tired of the fine tooth-comb approach to the text, with typos and wrong captions, (including the hilarious ‘ewe’ bows) increasing in later pages. To be fair to them, it’s hardly a riveting read, though informative. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/64962099-viking-warrior-operations-manual-the-life-equipment-weapons-and-fighting](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/64962099-viking-warrior-operations-manual-the-life-equipment-weapons-and-fighting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
