SynopsisThe astonishing saga of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton's survival for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas, as Time magazine put it, "defined heroism." Alfred Lansing's scrupulously researched and brilliantly narrated book -- with over 200,000 copies sold -- has long been acknowledged as the definitive account of the Endurance's fateful trip. To write their authoritative story, Lansing consulted with ten of the surviving members and gained access to diaries and personal accounts by eight others. The resulting book has all the immediacy of a first-hand account, expanded with maps and illustrations especially for this edition., The astonishing saga of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton's survival for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas, as Time magazine put it, defined heroism.

Worthwhile read even though I rate it as "3-star."
The writing is average. It's pretty great how the author compiles the notes and diaries of the crew members. The work that goes into is well worth it. So even though I am not impressed by the writing, the story is good. The effort is there. This book is easily a four star but for the writing, I gave a 3-star. Good read.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great, real-life adventure story. How the entire group survived such an ordeal is nothing less than a miracle. Great read right up until last page.
