In The Story of Scandinavia | From the Vikings to Social Democracy, political scholar Stein Ringen’s masterful storytelling reveals the turbulent history of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, exposing a past marked by collapse and restarts, power struggles, and the recent branding of ‘Scandinavia.’ Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual War to the modern age today.
