Once I had started this book I could not put it down. I felt for the men who were stranded and gained a further insight into the chaotic way that private polar expeditions were organised. New insights are gained into Ernest Shackleton that show another side to this great man. Kelly Tyler Lewis is a masterful writer whose research has been thorough and painstaking with the result that no stone is left unturned.Buy it and read it because once started you won't want to put it down.

Fantastic !!!!!!

This is an remarkable tale that is well told. Kelly Tyler-Lewis has produced a scholarly and comprehensively researched history of the Ross Sea Party, but this is in no way a dry book - it's an amazing ripping yarn that brings to life the realities of Antarctic exploration in the early 20thC. Shackleton is a peripheral player to the main events of the book but for me it did bring some new insights (good and bad) into the man.
