From the Viking Age seafarers who explored and raided across Europe to the medieval kingdom united under Harald Fairhair, from centuries of Danish rule to independence in 1905, and through the German occupation of World War 2 to the modern era of oil wealth and social democracy, Norway has followed a distinctive path through European history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides a clear and reliable account of Norwegian history from earliest times to the present day. It covers the political, cultural, and social developments that shaped the country, giving particular attention to the Viking era, the union with Denmark and Sweden, the independence movement, and Norway's transformation from a poor fishing and farming nation into one of the world's wealthiest and most egalitarian societies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReader review: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A thorough and readable history that goes well beyond the Vikings.
