As others have noted, this is not the best book to start out with however. In particular the lack of maps can make it hard to follow especially if you can't tell Mercia from East Anglia. The book presupposes a reasonable understanding of English geography and political boundaries during the Anglo-Saxon period, so other books are necessary to fill that gap.
On the other hand there is simply no other work written which does as good a job in providing a detailed, comprehensive picture of Anglo-Saxon England as this one. Highly recommended.
I found it helpful to imagine the individual Anglos-Saxon movers and shakers before Alfred the Great who are and chronicled in this book as the kind of people described by Sam Newton in "The Origins of Beowulf" and by JRR Tolkien in "Finn and Hengest". Newton's "The Origins of Beowulf" is very readable; Tolkien's "Finn and Hengest" is not so readable but it is rewarding.
If you think you might be interested in the Anglo-Saxons, begin with "The Origins of Beowulf." If you want to know more about these late Migration Period North Germans, Danes and Geats, and especially if you are interested in Anglo-Saxon as a possible North and Baltic Sea lingua franca, then go to "Finn and Hengest."
In addition for academic study, this book is fantastic as a beginning point for anyone wanting to write a historical fiction novel set in the period. I cannot recommend it enough!

Gute Quellenkritik, extrem ausführlich und sehr angenehm zu lesen.
Das ist schon etwas mehr als nur "Vikings" anschauen!
