SHACKLETON: A BIOGRAPHY

In 1915, Sir Ernest Shackleton's attempt to traverse the Antarctic was cut short when his ship, Endurance, became trapped in ice. What followed became legend. From Shackleton's pursuit of adventure as a young merchant seaman, through his rivalry with Captain Scott, to the two remarkable expeditions to Antarctica that revealed his unrivalled leadership and courage, Ranulph Fiennes brings the story vividly to life in a book that is part celebration, part vindication and all adventure.
