Book Reviews of The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition

Book Review: "These are Men!"
Summary: 5 Stars

"Endurance" is one of the best books on Antarctic exploration - good research, the best reproduction of original photographs by Ponting and Hurley. But it was written by a woman and Antarctica before WWI was a man's world. Shackleton was mortified that Britain in the midst of WWI carnage was indifferent to the plight of his men stranded on Elephant Island. He had just completed the most difficult sea voyage of all time and Ms Alexander quotes the accolades of the Norse sea captains but omits the ultimate:"These are Men!"
