An good Introduction to the History of the Danes

This is a good introduction to the people of Denmark and the wider Scandinavian history; including of course … the famous Vikings. There is not a lot of detail, but there is enough to give you a general feel for how they got to where they are today and what detail you might want to dig into on your own … especially if you don’t know much about the region yet (or if you like historical fiction and are thinking about a book set in that milieu

Introduction
Chapter 1 - Origins of the Danes
Chapter 2 - The Danes in the Time of Rome
Chapter 3 - The Vikings
Chapter 4 - Post Viking Denmark
Chapter 5 - The Making of Modern Denmark
Chapter 6 - Modern Denmark

I was given this free advance listener copy (ALC) audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Great narration

Well narrated, clear voice at a good speed with appropriate pauses.

The central story was a decent brief overview of Danish history with a little more than what is covered in most British history books because of the interaction with the Vikings and participation in the World Wars. It is bookended with extremist political diatribes.
