0:24.0	Good afternoon, Michael Malice here. Let that be your welcome for the next hour. We have
0:28.7	with us our returning guest Arthur Herman, who's new book The Viking Heart. I just finished
0:34.6	yesterday. And one of the things I love about this show is that someone who is a big fan of
0:42.0	books, I get to have prominent authors on and they have to sit there for an hour and answer all
0:47.2	my questions about their books. Arthur, I'm really excited to talk to you about this book,
0:52.3	and here's why. Here's one of the reasons. You get to sit there and relax while I tell everyone
0:57.5	why they should read your book. You're not paying me anything. This is just being done due to
1:02.6	the valor I found in it. So a lot of times people will sit at home and they'll watch some crappy
1:07.8	TV show or something. And then I think, well, if I watch the history channel, you know, I'm going

1:31.0	kind of digest. Then let me give you two past examples. Your first book, I always consider one
1:35.8	of my top 10 books there. One should read the idea of the client in Western. In Western history.
1:43.2	In Western history, sorry about that. Then if that masterpiece was enough, you wrote the cave in
1:48.6	the light, which looks at Western civilization through the eyes of Plato versus Aristotle. I just
1:53.9	mispronounced Plato for a second. I don't know what's going on there. And this book is a little bit
1:58.1	different because it's a lot more personal to you. This is about yes, Scandinavians and their roles
2:04.0	throughout history and in the modern world. And what I found great and this is why I was so excited
2:09.9	to read this. I was, remember, I've told this story before. I was around four or five and I was just
2:15.6	at that age where I could distinguish between what was real and what was it. So I knew Vikings
