Iceland's 1100 Years: The History of a Marginal Society by Gunnar Karlsson
informative
fast-paced
4.5
Thorough and well written book about the full history of Iceland, from the first settlement, to the early 21st century. Writing a full history of a country is always a monumental task but Gunnar Karlsson accomplished it brilliantly. I didn't read everythjng because some periods and social aspects interested me more than others, but I still enjoyed this book. The short chapters made it easy to keep up as well.
