Courage, Valor, Commitment

Ernest Shakelton is an inspiration. His accounts are so understated as to the difficulty, hardship, and commitment to his men and to his mission. I am humbled by his achievement.

I was glad to have the ability to look up unfamiliar terms easily, because I was reading on my phone. Took until around page 30-something to really get engaged, but this is a truly interesting read. It doesn’t bog down in the minutiae and becomes very readable. Definitely recommend
