Title: An amazing story of human perseverance and courage
Review: This is a book which once started is hard to put down! Venturing into possibly the most unwelcoming area on Earth, Shackleton and his team faced the most overwhelming difficulties in trying to make mankind's first crossing of the Antarctic continent. Although they failed to achieve their aim, most of the party survived against incredible odds.The book has a host of excellent photos, and the comments added to Shackelton's text by editor Peter King are very helpful. Unfortunately the maps are rather short on detail, so a good atlas is useful to have on hand.Shackleton's story is a powerful illustration of the wisdom of the maxim "Never give up."
