Summary: Do not use my review for the AUDIO TAPE!
Review: Amazon? Earth to Amazon? Come in please. My review was for a book with a bad introduction, not for an audio tape of the actual classic sans negative introduction. Oh, well.

This is BOOK REVIEW: Cooper Square anti-Peary introduced version. This classic has been spoiled by another "bully pulpit" 28-page anti-Peary introduction. As a public domain work it may be facsimile reproduced by anyone. ANYONE. And so it has.

The work is a classic in exploration history, but the "new" introduction is from an anti-Peary crusader. Thumbs down!

Summary: great inroduction
Review: This is a fine book with a fine introduction. Peary may have been a racist who said he took African American Matt Henson with him because he said "I did not feel called upon to share the honors that might occur with any other man", but this is still an interesting read even if Peary never actually reached the pole.
