The story of the age of the Viking's

During the long years of the Dark Ages, the sight which signalled fear and terror for the inhabitants of coastal Britain was the first glimpse of an unfamiliar sail on the horizon. The sighting of the famous longships heralded the arrival of Viking raiders; the harbingers of death and destruction. The wolves of Odin were about to be unleashed again.
'Viking Wars' provides a glimpse into the extraordinary world of a remarkable people.
Featuring dramatised "eye-witness" accounts filmed on the holy island of Lindesfarne and powerful reconstructions of Dark age warfare. Combined with state-of-the-art computer graphics and surviving period imagery, 'Viking Wars', is a superb record of a savage period in British history.
Narrated by Brian Blessed.
Featuring expert comment and analysis by Dr David Chandler, the world's foremost military historian and former head of War Studies at Sandhurst.
