Probably Fighting Men by Henry Treece (kids book) or The Viking Achievement by Foote & Wilson.

catlaughing: "His new book may be seen as a courteous but firm reproof to those who, like me, brought up on Arthur Machen, John Buchan, Rosemary Sutcliff, Mary Renault and Henry Treece, not to mention H.P. Lovecraft, got the wrong idea a long time ago and have been reluctant to abandon it."
rsutcliff: A reviewer notes of a new book “(it)may be seen as a courteous but firm reproof to those who…brought up on Arthur Machen, John Buchan, Rosemary Sutcliff, Mary Renault Henry Treece…got the wrong idea a long time ago & have been reluctant to abandon it.”

Lynden_Wade: I remember a Henry Treece with a Roman scolding a Briton for being miffed at being subjugated: it was really for his own good, he was told, to bring order and civilisation to his country.
BooksnMagic: The illustration work of Charles Keeping often has an intensity bordering on mania, here in a Henry Treece book called Splintered Sword that I picked up today from a charity shop

daja57: "Life isn't given to us just so we can exert our strength on other men and turn their lives inside-out for our own advantage."
andrewpconnell: 'The Road to Miklagard' was the middle volume of Henry Treece's wonderful Viking trilogy, which really caught my imagination when I was a kid.
LordGrimdark: Reminds me powerfully of the art on Henry Treece’s Viking Saga and Rosemary Sutcliff’s Blood Feud which I loved as a kid and were big influences on the Shattered Sea.
ashjclery: Teaching 'Conquerors' by Henry Treece to 2nd Years tomorrow. Using this video from the Irish Defence Forces as initial stimulus;
spinningzoo: Where have I read the phrase 'The bear's widow only weeps for nine days; and even that is too long'? Is it Henry Treece? Sounds very 'Viking Saga'... Does it ring any bells for anyone?
Book_Addict: Happy birthday to English writer and poet Henry Treece (December 22,1911), author of the 1967 novel "The Windswept City" and many other notable works.

johnmilbank3: The 17th C King Billy statue near old Hull docks. Erected after local supporters of the Whig-Dutch subversion defeated a faction loyal to King James trying to assist a Yorkshire counter-coup. Features in Henry Treece’s children’s thriller ‘Ask for King Billy’.
daja57: "The black beetle climbs up the table-leg, but there is a hand waiting to crush him when he reaches the top."

revsandy01: The books that 'baptized' my imagination were 'The Burning of Njal' by Henry Treece and 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. Tolkien.
And with light novels and manga, it was 'Spice and Wolf' by Isuna Hasekura.
thamuhacha: The Viking Trilogy, by Henry Treece
I will read them to my son in a few years and if he doesn't like them he is going back
rosalindanne: Great to get a young kid interested in Roman Britain, or reading adventure stories with a historical background. Her books sparked a lifelong fascination with the classical world, amplified by Henry Treece & Mary Renault later on.

daja57: "When men go to war, they do not think of their opponents as being of the same nature as their own families."
autopaxman: The Viking Trilogy by Henry Treece was my first proper introduction to the idea that big, hefty darkhaired geezers are villains.
A lesson learned, aged six, and never forgotten.
daja57: "Life isn't given to us just so we can exert our strength on other men and turn their lives inside-out for our own advantage."
daja57: "If this place is too quiet for you, then you must do what many young hounds do, and go sniffing the hedgerows for yourself."
johnmilbank3: Henry Treece’s The Green Man is surely a novelistic gloss upon Graves. Here the theses are given a seemingly Nietzschean twist:the pagan seen as horrendously brutal and yet the Christian as the triumph of weak cunning on the part of those commanding writing against the illiterate
daja57: "If this place is too quiet for you, then you must do what many young hounds do, and go sniffing the hedgerows for yourself."
daja57: "But it is against the will of the gods to let a man's days run too smoothly with laughter. It is the sort of pattern they will not weave, even though warp and weft seem set to pass the cloth out clean from the loom."
daja57: "Thorfinn said, 'A poet must live, Harald'.
Gudbrod said, 'Why'?"

sjvn: 4 of 5 stars to Viking's Dawn by Henry Treece
daja57: "The black beetle climbs up the table-leg, but there is a hand waiting to crush him when he reaches the top."
daja57: "You are but an ant crawling on a hunter's boot. That boot may carry you a long distance and you will think that life is good to you. Or it may crush you, then you will know no more."
daja57: "The black beetle climbs up the table-leg, but there is a hand waiting to crush him when he reaches the top."
daja57: "Do not trust what a dog tells you. They are born liars"
daja57: "Life is never sure, Harald. Whichever way a man turns, he thinks he might have done better to take the other path."

daja57: "They were as contented as warriors could be ... They lived in the present; it was unwise to do anything else."
51M0N_5: I think I'll try to recapture my childhood by buying books I used to love to read. That's quite a lot of John Wyndham, Henry Treece, Michael Moorcock and John Cristopher then.
What would yours be ?
andrewpconnell: Watching a documentary about Viking graves at Repton reminded me of how much I loved Henry Treece's Viking trilogy of novels when I was a kid. Viking's Dawn, The Road to Miklagard, Viking's Sunset. Absolutely terrific.
youngollie94: The Tree, Henry Treece
wretchedgoblin: I want to read The Green Man by Henry Treece.
Unfortunately it's out of print, relatively expensive to buy and ship to where I am, and not in ebook format.
Bah. Too many things I want are unavailable.

JimBarrett: When I was a teenager I read Henry Treece, a mostly forgotten poet and writer, his The Golden Strangers (1956); The Dark Island (1952)and Red Queen, White Queen (1958). Brilliant books.
BristleKRS: Apropos of not much, just spotted that writer of children's historical novels Henry Treece dedicated his penultimate such work to notable Blair enthusiast/non-islamophile Oliver Kamm and his brother
youngollie94: 'Prologue' to The Haunted Garden by Henry Treece
binaryape: I grew up reading (devouring or inhaling might be more accurate) every Henry Treece book the local library could supply, and then books about The Lord of The Rings, all illustrated by Victor Ambrus. His art was what history & mythology looked like.
konallis: Wonderful illustrator who worked on books by Rosemary Sutcliff, Henry Treece and K.M. Peyton, among many others.
SimonGuy64: The covers for Henry Treece's Viking trilogy.
WOSNScores: FINAL: Van Wert 48, St Henry 46. The Cougars (7-9) win their 6th straight after starting the year 1-9. Owen Treece led all scorers with 26.
exmoorjane: 1970 - when a bath was an event worth recording in one's diary! And the joys of Henry Treece - remember him? Bella was the dog, btw.
TimLees2: Sad to see David Britton of Savoy Books has died. His Wikipedia entry doesn't do him justice as a publisher of Ken Reid, Michael Moorcock, Henry Treece, Langdon Jones and many others. His somewhat sleazy shop was well-known in Manchester, and he himself...
DurrellSociety: It has long been an Article of Faith with me that the creative writer is born to awareness (if only partial) and to suffering (sometimes in extremis) just as the sparks fly upwards.
— Henry Treece
Book_Addict: Happy birthday to English writer and poet Henry Treece (December 22,1911), author of the 1967 novel "The Windswept City" and many other notable works.
PatMillsComics: Been re-reading popular Henry Treece Legions of the Eagle, I liked as a boy because it had strong relationships. Still stands up well today, but his celebration of the Roman Empire is truly nauseating. Social conditioning for kids to value the equally revolting British Empire
leegrandjean: Absolutely loved her novels as a kid, her and Henry Treece.
Both vividly created the past in a way that was truly ‘transporting’. I raise the mead to Rosemary (and Henry)
konallis: For another year, I've read a book beginning with every letter of the alphabet. (It's a living.) Other than Cummings, I'd like to give special thanks to Henry Treece for the Q, Guinevere Glasfurd for the Y, and Italo Svevo for the Z.
freezingkiwi: Henry Treece and Rosemary Sutcliffe childrens' historicals. Vikings! Romans! Roman Britain! Really exciting stuff.
Wyfan2: "'I have come a long way from the blood’s tidal voice/ Moaning and wailing across the salt flats of the mind'...The first words were written by Henry Treece…(they) still resonate for me now, so imagine its impact on the wistful 15-year-old that I was."
daja57: "They were as contented as warriors could be ... They lived in the present; it was unwise to do anything else."
ITattum: Henry Treece’s historical sagas were one of the delights of my childhood.
Here though is a poem he wrote in war. A fearful but longing lament.
‘ I dream of singing birds,
and summer rain’
BigtMawr: A eerie voiceover of Henry Treece's 'The Magic Wood' after a voiceover session with Callum Forster. Happy Halloween! Calan Gaeaf Hapus!
folk_horror: Eerie illustrations by Barry Moser for a 1992 edition Henry Treece's poem 'The Magic Wood'
"The wood is full of shining eyes,
The wood is full of creeping feet,
The wood is full of tiny cries:
You must not go to the wood at night!"
BooksnMagic: Just found a book with my favourite illustrator Charles Keeping. His work was criticised as too scary for children but I think the dark inky horror is just perfect!
(Henry Treece also comes well recommended so I may give this one a go)
neilhimself: We really do. And also, second-hand bookshops. They are not getting the browsing people, so if you've ever wanted to own a 12 volume edition of The Golden Bough or the poetry of Henry Treece, now's your chance to wander
daja57: "I speak in a hurry, like a man with a she-bear scratching his backside."
AlanPar46565002: In a crowded field Henry Treece was the prophet of post war Children’s literature (and indeed much adult ‘Celtic Twilight’ work). On D-Day he wrote in his diary “The war is only half-over, and many who are dancing and singing to-night will dance and sing no more”.
Sound familiar?
colinjthomas: Day 6 - Legions of the Eagle - Henry Treece. Not a well-known children's book (and in hindsight a rip-off of The Eagle of the Ninth) but as a 10 year old this destroyed me.
scarthinbooks: Kerry Fiallo calls these 'brilliant literature that takes place in uncommonly explored time periods'.
I'd go back further and recommend two by Henry Treece: 'The Green Man' - the original Saxon story of Hamlet, and 'Red Queen White Queen' - Boudicca's revolt from a Roman PoV.
