Product Review
"An eminently approachable and readable introduction to Danish history."--Thomas Munck, University of Glasgow
Product Description
From the Reformation to present day, this book guides the reader through 500 years of wars, territorial losses, domestic upheavals, and changes in thought in Denmark's history. Looking carefully at the development of Danish identity, the author explores whether Danes can be most aptly described as a tribe or a nation. Using new research and original theories, it's the perfect introduction to the fascinating and relatively unknown history of this Scandinavian country.
Reader Reviews
Strangely enough, I rate this book highly for precisely the reason that the prior reviewer rated it low. The separation into different approaches (military, social, political, etc.) allows for an extremely well-rounded picture of the history of Denmark. Plus, there is a chronological summary at the end that ties it all together. Admittedly, this approach takes a little work on the part of the reader, but I feel that it gives a far clearer picture of the nation and people of Denmark than a more traditional 'school book' approach.
