ENDURANCE

Adventure handled with professional deftness, this is an absorbing account of Ernest Shackleton's third expedition to Antarctica. Encounters with wild animals, constant threat of ice-crushes and drifts, hunger, and marked this expedition which began in 1914 and lasted for seventeen months. Recounted here in vivid detail, a must for those who favor first rate, true adventure books.
