The year was 1915. Equipment and food supplies were totally inadequate. After battling its way for six weeks through thousands of miles of pack ice and located only a day's sail from its destination, the Endurance became locked inside an island of ice. Yet Ernest Shackleton enabled all 27 of his men to survive for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas - leadership without equal. This gripping account is based on contemporaneous diaries and interviews conducted by the author with these exceptional men.©1959 Alfred Lansing (P)2000 by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp.

Whether we’re focused on the apocalypse or just an ill-timed breakdown on the side of a particularly remote road, there’s something about imagining survival scenarios that can be addictive. On some level, we all wonder if we would have what it takes to pit ourselves against the worst the world can possibly offer and make it out alive. That’s why it’s no surprise that survival literature is so popular, and that the stories in the genre are so diverse.

I had heard in general terms about this adventure gone bad. But the actual events as depicted through this book which is based on the actual diaries of the members and crew of the Endurance are truly remarkable. The narration is well done. Listening to this actually made me purchase other books on the subject.

Shackleton's story is a must. His story shows reality TV for the silliness it is. This is history at it's best. The author's use of the "men's" dairies is inspirating, captivating and entertaining. Originary men living extra-originary lives!

Enjoyable and expressive (but not overdone) narration. Incredible story and one can be left with nothing other than respect and admiration for these men making it through such an ordeal (more or less) intact.

A gem kn all aspects.
