The year was 1915. Equipment and food supplies were totally inadequate. After battling its way for six weeks through thousands of miles of pack ice and located only a day's sail from its destination, the Endurance became locked inside an island of ice. Yet Ernest Shackleton enabled all 27 of his men to survive for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas - leadership without equal. This gripping account is based on contemporaneous diaries and interviews conducted by the author with these exceptional men.©1959 Alfred Lansing; (P)2000 by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp.

An amazing story told in a matter-of-fact way that had me in tears at the end. It is very well written and narrated and the men’s courage and endurance shine through. Makes me ashamed of making a fuss about minor aches and pains!

A time when men were made of sturner stuff. A modest hand shake after 14 month of gruelling hell - makes you proud to be an Englishman.
