Ben Thompson Harper Paperbacks, 2009 YES Vikings didn't have horned helmets. That's about as close as I can get to any sort of criticism of this book.

Square One Publishers, 2001 The Way of The Samurai Whatever your belief system, this is a major work that needs to be read and contemplated slowly.
