This is a very detailed (true) story about men trying to survive in a very hostile environment in c. 1915. Lansing simultaneously creates this hero image around Shackleton, and as a historian I know this is easy to do when one is being somewhat subjective with selecting what to include, but Lansing manages to create a very raw and real feel to Shackleton as a person and a leader. Crucially important however, he manages to encapsulate the characters, attitudes and morale of every man aboard the fateful expedition and fantastically weaves a tale of immense suspense and intriguing description. I recommend this book to add to the collection of those books that give us the knowledge of what it takes to conquer a goal. Please try again. Menu. Grann suggested Endurance as a worthy read.
