A History of the Swedish People: Volume II (Volume 2)

I am a fan of Wilhelm Moberg. Deceptively simple writing.

An addition to my historical library at a reasonable price.

There is a great deal of important information in this book, and volume 1. The author honestly warns the reader that the books are written from a socio-anthropological viewpoint. Though the history is interesting, much of the commentary appears to be interpretive. I know the author is well qualified to interpret, but tends to be boring. These books are definately worth the read, because they are a different view of Swedish history. They will not, however, be my resourse for future reference.

Great service and delivery speed

I'm new to Swedish history and I love the way Vilhelm addresses it. He keeps the information coming at a fast clip so I never get bored. Plus, it's more focused on the common people, not just the kings and their wars. Plus, Vilhelm has some snark as a narrator, especially when it comes to the antics of the kings. Accurate history AND snark? Yes, please.

Wilhelm Moberg is an amazing author. I've found all of his works to be insightful and interestingly written. I highly recommend both books that Moberg has written on the history of the Swedish people as well as his series The Emigrants.

The history of common Swedish people.. Very enlightening. This deals with the timeline1436 to 1543

Very good book. Lots of good History. I am catching up on family heritage. This book really gives some good information

Unfortunately, the translation is not brilliant, but it is an enjoyable first approximation to the beginning of Swedish history.
