Title: A powerful study in leadership
Review: If I were still a military commander, I would require every one of my subordinate officers to read this book. The story is so compelling and fascinating that it reads better than the best mystery novel. By the time you are done reading it, you will "know" these historical figures like old friends. But, aside from that, this book is a powerful study of leaderhip, character, relationships, and even culture. The book evoked in me a strong period of self-examination...in whose footsteps was I treading?Certainly, there are controversies surrounding Huntley's conclusions, and his treatment of Scott. I suspect these issues will be debated and disagreed over for years to come. Huntley's attacks on Scott may be, at times, overly biased. I won't pass judgment here, but rather I would encourage the reader to judge on his or her own. I suspect anyone who reads this book will want to read more about the men of antarctic exploration.
Is the review positive or negative?
