Title: A taught, concise account of Shackleton's journey..
Product review: Alexander has written a taught concise account of the last great Anarctic journey. She describes each of the men on the trip in enough detail for the reader to understand their subsequent behavior. She looks honestly at Shackleton's actions, his character, and his extraordinary courage. Shackleton was an astonishing leader who brought back every man under his command under circumstances so appalling that the reader struggles to believe. Alexander makes excellent use of the men's own journal entries and of Hurley's photographs.
