About this listen

 Sir Ranulph Fiennes is uniquely qualified to write a new biography of Captain Scott. This is the first biography of Scott by someone who has experienced the deprivations, the stress and the sheer physical pain that Scott lived through; he has suffered all but the final tragedy endured by the much maligned Scott. He is determined to put the record straight.

As well as being the definitive biography of Scott, written with the full and exclusive cooperation of the Scott Estate, this book traces the way that Scott's reputation has been attacked and his achievements distorted.

'Sir Ranulph Fiennes has done Captain Scott's memory some service...he has certainly written a more dispassionate and balanced account than Huntford ever set out to do.' - Simon Courtauld, Spectator©2003 Ranulph Fiennes Adventurers, Explorers & Survival Historical Thought-Provoking Biography

I can only congratulate Sir Ran Fiennes for seeking so earnestly and conscientiously to examine fully the events around the fateful Scott expedition to Antarctica. It is a fascinating, measured and thoughtfully rendered account. For me it rings a faint bell of hope that the days of ignorant detraction for the sake of it, based on the detractors’ own lack of self worth and hang ups may be one day be numbered. We live in an era of detraction and gratuitous vitriol and with great tact and delicacy Fiennes decries the perpetrators with no thought of advancing himself. Balance can and must be restored. This book takes a big first step towards it.

An amazing true adventure story I thought I knew.
Told with honesty and experience only a true polar explorer could give you.
It doesn't make me want to follow in Scott's deep icy footsteps but wow what a group of Incredibly brave and nobel men they were.
