Endurance by Frank Arthur Worsley
The legendary tale of Ernest Shackleton's grueling Antarctic expedition, recounted in riveting first-person detail by the captain of HMS Endurance.
"Worsley is a keen reporter: he lingers on the import of frozen Burberry socks or piping hot hoosh, marvels at the tenacity of his fellow travelers and the particular courage of Sir Ernest, and takes pride in the ultimate rescue of the entire crew" -- Kirkus Reviews
A native New Zealander, Frank A. Worsley served as a reserve officer in the Royal Navy before becoming captain of the Endurance. He commanded two ships in World War I, for which he was decorated, sailed with Shackleton again in 1921, and in 1925 was the joint leader of the British Arctic Exploration. Worsley died in 1943.
