Sensitive Topics

The book depicts historical conflict, such as Viking raids and knights in battle. The approach is illustrative and non-graphic. There is no blood or gore, but weapons and combat are present. The portrayal of different cultures is simplified for the format and may reflect a Eurocentric perspective common in books from the 1990s. The treatment is secular.
