"Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew make today's high-tech adventurers look like dilettantes…One of the most harrowing survival stories of all time."
Sebastian Junger, New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Storm and War
"One of the great adventure stories…a rousing read."
New York Times
"Geoffrey Howard's splendid rendition conveys the genuine drama of the story without succumbing to false dramatics. His Shackleton has a deep-voiced charm; he is witty, calm and, most important, masterly in a crisis. In short, Howard's Shackleton sounds exactly as we imagine an explorer should sound."
