Summary: Excellent Chapter on Survival and Will
Comment: I read this book because I had a passing interest in the story of the doomed ship. What I found was a great tale of will and courage in the face of overwhelming odds. This book sparked my interest in polar exploration and the explorers. Shackleton's story is a great one that should be read by anyone with an interest in Man's triumph over nature.
Note, the reader should have some prior background of the Endurance, since the book starts with the ships destruction.
Rating: 5
Summary: 6 Stars - Incredible strory, A Great Book
Comment: An absolutely unbelievable expedition and survival story. Cleary the greatest exploration of all times. Fantastic and gripping description of the hardship that the Endurance crew of 28 men had to face for one year in the harshest terrian in the world.
There are many books written on the epic voyage of Edurance. This one written by F A Worsley, the captain of the ship, who was constantly by Shackelton's side is definitely a thorough description of the entire journey, their troubles, their struggle, their joys and hope thru the voyage.
A must read for everyone. especially those interested in adventure travel, exploration and expeditions.
Also a great book on leadership lessons.
Rating: 5
Summary: Overcoming the odds
Comment: Without a doubt the best adventure book I've ever read. I found myself reading section after section of this incredible story out loud to my wife. Part of the reason this particular book is so compelling is that it is written by the Captain of the Endurance and not someone removed from this epic by decades of perspective. A truly inspiring story.
