Reviews
As a masterly synthesis of so much of his previous work, Arctic Labyrinth is a fitting capstone to Williams's authorial career., "The first really comprehensive and analytical book written by an authority on that subject."-- Jrnl of World History, "The first really comprehensive and analytical book written by an authority on that subject."-- Journal of World History, Rich detail adds to the well-worn story of futility and human failings that marked the mapping of the far North. . . . Highly recommended., "As a masterly synthesis of so much of his previous work, Arctic Labyrinth is a fitting capstone to Williams's authorial career."-- Arctic Bk Rev, Uses extensive research into the journals kept, the maps sketched, and newspaper headlines that mark their expeditions to create vivid pictures of these larger-than-life explorers., Whether one is new to the topic or has read widely on it, Williams' elegant prose and probing critiques make this a vital contribution to Arctic history., "This one is essential for all libraries . . . and all serious readers."

Synopsis
The elusive dream of locating the Northwest Passage--an ocean route over the top of North America that promised a shortcut to the fabulous wealth of Asia--obsessed explorers for centuries. While global warming has brought several such routes into existence, until recently these channels were hopelessly choked by impassible ice. Voyagers faced unimaginable horrors--entire ships crushed, mass starvation, disabling frostbite, even cannibalism--in pursuit of a futile goal. In Arctic Labyrinth , Glyn Williams charts the entire sweep of this extraordinary history, from the tiny, woefully equipped vessels of the first Tudor expeditions to the twentieth-century ventures that finally opened the Passage. Williams's thrilling narrative delves into private letters and journals to expose the gritty reality behind the often self-serving accounts of those in charge. An important work of maritime history and exploration--and as exciting a tale of heroism and fortitude as readers will find-- Arctic Labyrinth is also a remarkable study in human delusion.
