In a saga reminiscent of Game of Thrones and The Last Kingdom, Battle for the Island Kingdom reveals the life-and-death struggle for power which changed the course of history.

In this epic retelling, Don Hollway (The Last Viking) recounts the clashes of Vikings, Anglo-Saxons and Normans, their warlords and their conniving queens.

In contrast to their Danish and Norwegian cousins, Swedish Vikings traveled east rather than west in search of riches, land, and power.

Da Peter Øvig gravede sig ned i en research om seksuelle overgreb mod børn på danske børnehjem, viste der sig et uhyggeligt billede: Overgrebene var omfattende, velorganiserede og stod ofte på over flere årtier. Samtidig viste det sig, at både børn og ansatte på børnehjemmene havde forsøgt at råbe ledelse og myndigheder op, alt sammen forgæves. Gennem otte års arbejde mødte Peter Øvig en række tidligere børnehjemsbørn, som fortalte om organiserede seksuelle overgreb, de havde oplevet på børnehjem rundt i landet, især i 1960’erne og -70’erne.

Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual War to the modern age today. For a thousand years, the Scandinavian countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the game of being European powers, at the expense of their own populations. The brand we now know as "Scandinavia" is a recent invention. During most of its history, Denmark and Sweden, and to some degree Norway, were bloody enemies. These sentiments of enmity have not been fully settled.
