Title: The story has been better told previously
Review: A First-Rate Tragedy, while certainly well-done adds nothing to the earlier "Scott and Amundsen" written by Roland Huntford. In fact the latter does the job in more detail, with greater insights into the time and context of the Antarctic Expedition. It also covers both Amundsen as well as Scott. Finally, the author serves at times as an apologist for Scott - perhaps this is so as she is British herself!
