History of Iceland
A book which spans the whole history of
the Icelandic nation. A lively and absorbing account of the events,
personalities and ideas that have shaped the heritage and destiny of
the Icelandic nation. Concise and highly informatie and written with
the general reader in mind, the book charts the glories and achievements
of the Republic and Saga Age, the bitter and bloody civil war which
led to humiliation and suffering under colonial rule, and the nationalist
awakening which has created a thriving modern republic with a deep attachment
to its unique past.
The author, Jón R. Hjálmarsson, is a historian and educator and served
as a school principal and later as regional administrator of education
in south Iceland for many years. He is well known as a broadcaster and
as the author of several books on history and related subjects. History
of Iceland was published to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
establishment of the modern republic of Iceland in 1994.
