The ultimate illustrated book on Shackleton, with exciting never-before-published pictures from the Discovery, Nimrod and Quest expeditions.
Ernest Shackleton is best known for his Endurance expedition, but he took part in four Antarctic expeditions in all - the Discovery (1902-4), the Nimrod expedition (1907-9), the Endurance-Aurora expedition (1914-17), and Quest, his final journey in 1921.
Roland Huntford looks at Shackleton the explorer and leader of men, the hero of his day who was knighted by Edward VII. This is a riveting story in words and pictures, of rivalry, survival, comradeship and courage in the face of danger.
