Book Reviews of Disaster at the Pole: The Crash of the Airship Italia
Book Review: A CLASSIC ADVENTURE TALE THAT RANKS WITH THE VERY BEST
Summary: 5 Stars
These were the words of longtime book reviewer and former managing editor of McCall's magazine, who also called it "a truly remarkable story." A very lengthy Boston Globe review was equally favorable, concluding that it was "a gripping story" and "one might expect the story of the Italia to be a movie."
