SHACKLETON'S TRIP: A NEW LOOK AT THE ANTARCTIC ADVENTURE
|
Calling it one of the greatest survival stories in modern history
is an understatement. Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton's expedition to
the Antarctic in 1914 famously failed to reach its destination. But
it succeeded, and has grown in importance, as a story of leadership
and remarkable tenacity. The Shackleton expedition and rescue,
documented in "The Endurance," has captured imaginations since it
happened, but this compelling story of heroism and hope will no doubt
resonate anew.
