Title: Next best thing to visiting Am Museum of Nat Hist Exhibition
Product review: This is not the best written account of Shackleton's voyage. However, its use of Frank Hurley's photographs to enrich the telling of this compelling story makes Alexander's book essential to anyone at all interested in Shackleton's voyage. As a result of reading both this book and Alfred Lansing's "Endurance", we made the trip to New York to visit the American Museum of Natural History's Endurance exhibition. The exhibition, which includes the photographs in the book, some early color photographs and motion pictures from the expedition, and the James Caird itself, was well worth seeing, but a tribute to this book is that it captures the essence of the exhibition very well. If you can't go the exhibition, and even if you can, you should read this book.
