Summary: An epic story of survival
Review: Having first read this book in my early teens and having searched for a personal copy for many years, I was overjoyed to find it back in print. The story of the Endurance and her crew is one of man's indomitable will to survive. The story of Ernest Shackleton and the crew of the Endurance is a remarkable tale of courage in the face of tremendous obstacles. With a bare minimum of supplies, 28 men managed to survive nearly 20 months of ice, freezing weather, storms and near starvation. This is a must read book for anyone interested in the history of exploration - or human courage!

Summary: The best non-fiction adventure I have ever read!
Review: Lansing draws from the diaries the E.H. Shackleton and the crew of the Endurance to re-tell the story of the ill-fated Trans-Antartic Expedition. The harrowing story of courage and determination under almost unimaginable conditions both inspired and humbled me. Lansing does an admirable job of describing the events of the journey from the abandonement of the Endurance and the long polar nights on the ice floes to Shackleton's mad dash across the 10,000 foot peaks of South Georgia. I am impressed that Lansing exhibited restraint in not speculating unduly upon the thought of the men without using their accounts. The book is outstanding. I was afraid for, and inspire by these great men and felt Shackleton's triumph as he finally returned to South Georgia.

Summary: This account of the adventure provides some different info.
Review: After reading Alexander's book (The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition) I was anxious for more of this adventure so I read this version by Lansing. I was completely absorbed by this wild story for a second time! Lansing provides quite alot of new and different angles on the story. He spends more time on the incredibly harrowing boat journeys and less on the personalities of the various crew members. It reads more like a novel, whereas Alexander's account seems more journalistic. I would highly recommend Lansing's version as a follow-up since Alexander's has the fantastic pictures and map which set the scene.

Summary: This book is the best adventure you can read.
Review: This recollection of an "incredible jurney" is an unbelievable retelling of the perilous jurney to the south pole by the Endurance as told by Sir Alfred Lansing. He has managed to piece together the story of the greatest expiditions since Columbus left Portugal in 1492. This book is perfect for the person who explorers The Patagonias of South America to the person who explores the internet. Easily the best book I have ever read.

Summary: Riveting, well written
Review: My older brother loaned me this book a couple of summers ago. Full of descriptive narrative, it should be savored and though tempted to turn the pages quickly, read it carefully.

Summary: An astonishing story
Review: Endurance is far and away the most gripping, excruciating, and mind-blowing adventure story ever written. If this were fiction it would be laughable because it would be too unbelievable. I got so keyed up while reading about the journey through the Drake Passage that I would periodically have to put the book down and pace around my house. They just don't make men like this anymore. The so-called "heroes" that stumbled up and down Everest in Into Thin Air should read this book and be very, very humbled.

Summary: Awe-inspiring! A fantastic book about an incredible journey.
Review: This is a great book that I have given as a gift to many friends and clients. It is truly an inspirational book. The ability of these men to withstand the physical conditions, not to mention the psychological stress, is almost beyond belief. Read this book! Even if it does not inspire you (which it will), it will certainly make it easier for you to handle the winter cold.
