The Lost Men by Kelly Tyler-Lewis

The Lost Men by Kelly Tyler-Lewis

In 1914, Sir Ernest Shackleton set forth to make history with the first-ever crossing of the Antarctic continent. On the eve of WWI, Shackleton disappeared into the Weddell Sea aboard the Endurance, while a ship called the Aurora sailed into the Ross Sea. This work chronicles an expedition marked by extraordinary bravery and fortitude.

'Given the collection of military, civilian, scientific and blue-collar personnel that made up the expedition, it's compelling to see how each man deals with his fate.. a gripping work' Publishers Weekly 'An exciting book' Booklist 'Tyler-Lewis manages to spin a breathtaking yarn of survival and achievement under the most extreme conditions. Her adroit chronicle draws on a splendid assembly of raw materials: public records, private papers, journals, logs and letters ... A judicious, sensitive account of an Antarctic trial by ice' Kirkus
