Endurance by Alfred Lansing

Used. Hardcover. When Ernest Shackleton’s 1914 Antarctic expedition went south, it went *really* south, leaving twenty-eight men stranded on a shifting sea of ice for over a year. Alfred Lansing’s masterful account of this frozen fiasco proves that human stubbornness is far tougher than timber. It is a staggering study in leadership and grit that makes your worst commute look like a walk in the park. Grab a sweater before you crack this one open, because the chill on these pages is entirely authentic.
