Synopsis:
The acclaimed biographer of Robert Falcon Scott masterfully chronicles the life of one of the last great Edwardian heroes, Ernest Shackleton, from his Anglo-Irish childhood through the race for the South Pole to his last expedition to the North Pole.
Review:
This is an utterly absorbing biography ... moves one to tears of relief, joy and blind wonder (Allan Massie)
Expertly handled and written ... makes extensive uncensored use of the diaries written at the time (ECONOMIST)
Unlikely to be superseded (Robert Fox, LISTENER)
Magnificent ... Huntford has done justice to this great and complex man. That, in itself, is a triumph (SUNDAY TIMES)
