This study reveals, by careful research and analysis based largely on reconstructive archaeology, the full implications of creating, maintaining, and operating war-fleets during the Viking era... The argument is detailed, and might have been tedious had not skilful use been made of tabulated data to lighten and clarify the text. As a result it is a rewarding read with a thought-provoking message, with the tables readily to hand for those who wish to delve more deeply into the evidence. There are two appendices, a glossary, extensive footnotes, and a very full bibliography. -- Colin Martin International Journal of Nautical Archaeology
