About this book

Ernest Shackleton never reached the South Pole, and in 1915 his ship, the Endurance, was crushed by the Antarctic ice. Every man of her crew survived.

Graham Whitmore tells his life in a concise, chronological biography: the failures that came first, and the expedition where everything went wrong.
