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." 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.
