Based on exhaustive research, History of Norway is a clear, informative and entertaining description of Norway’s history from the earliest cultures of the Stone Age to today’s oil and gas economy. Along the way, there are fascinating stories of Vikings, the Sami, kings and queens, farmers and fishermen, merchants and miners, the Black Death, the Hanseatic merchants, the Reformation, independence, emigration from Norway to America, polar explorers, the Nazi invasion and the Norwegian resistance in World War II, and much more!

One thought on “Books on Monday: More Norwegian history”
I own Yilek’s History of Norway and it is excellent. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know what Norway was like at different times when our ancestors lived.
