Summary: Makes Wintering in Minnesota Seem Like a Piece of Cake
Review: Be prepared to clear out your calendar for the day because you just don't want to leave these guys drifting on a piece of ice out on the Antartica ocean. This story is truly about heroism and the will to live. The author hits the ground(ice)running and never lets up.My prediction is Spielberg is going to grab this epic and run with it.Land Ho!

Summary: The Definitive View
Review: Lansing's account is the definitive view on this epic adventure. Written in 1950's Lansing interviewed men who traveled on this exploration. Brillant!

Summary: Nerve Racking and Captivating
Review: My wife had to grab my leg and ask me if I was alright while I read about Shackleton's troubles on the bus ride home. Even knowing the ultimate outcome did not make me any less nervous when the crew of the Endurance faced each incredible challenge. Lansing's prose captivated me and took me away from a warm Seattle Metro bus and put me there in Antarctica floating on Camp Patience and gasping for breath after escaping a leapord seal attack, shivering with anticipation as our craft rushed up each icy fifty foot swell, I was there! Everyone should read this to escape into a world of adventure that cannot be matched again!

Summary: Incredible
Review: An absolute pageturner. A story of leadership, courage, determination and incrdible seamanship makes this a must read. When one thinks that this entire aventure took place 85 years ago, it becomes even more apparent just what a feat it was. One of the best reads I've come across in a long time.

Summary: A powerful account of leadership and teamwork
Review: As a former mountaineer and presently a team building specialist, I found this book not only to be a gripping account of survival against all odds, but one of true leadership and teamwork. Under circumstances where most would perish due to their inability to successfully lead, follow or unite as a team, Shackleton and his crew used teamwork to overcome the odds.

Summary: Superlatives are inadequate for this book!
Review: I found this story so fantastic that I immediately bought more copies to give to others! The National Geographic article of Oct/Nov 1998 is the perfect co-read; illustrated with Frank Hurley's photographs and Society maps. If you liked this story of the triumph of the human spirit, try The Forgotten Soldier, or, for a related fiction read, try The Birthday Boys.
