A Brief History of Scandinavia
Dominic Haynes
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
They were supposed to be too small, too cold, too remote. But Scandinavia didn’t just survive—it reshaped the world.
How did a handful of Viking raiders become the architects of global peace and prosperity? And why do so many people visit Denmark, Norway, or Sweden without knowing the extraordinary history beneath their feet?
This book is your fast track to understanding Scandinavia’s wild, unlikely journey—from Norse myths and medieval kingdoms to naval empires, world wars, and the modern Nordic model. Whether you’re traveling, tracing roots, or just love underdog stories, this is the book that makes it all click.
Think history is dry? Not this. Told with cinematic pacing and clear, compelling storytelling, this book reads like a documentary you can’t turn off. No fluff. No jargon. Just the gripping story of how three cold countries changed the world.
Listen now and discover how a frozen corner of Europe conquered the world—twice.
