Paul Collins. A lively, full-to-bursting history of the turbulent 10th century in
Europe, when inner dissention and external marauding began to give way
to cohesion and centrality. Collins manages to enthrall readers in the vicissitudes of an
early medieval era marked by random violence and unpronounceable Nordic
names via his thorough knowledge of the epoch and ability to spin an
engaging tale. Who knew the 10th century could be so compelling?--KirkusSaturday, March 16, 2013
