Book Reviews of Endurance
Book Review: A story of lidership and loyalty
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this after "South" and I think it is the right way to go. Worsley not only recounts the difficulties of the journey, but makes no effort to hide his admiration for his great leader and friend. The way Shackleton manages to motivate his crew in an unimaginably hostile environment is an example of true, effective leadership. Adventurers and business men, children and adults should all read this book.Book Review: The BEST book about Shackleton's Endurance
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read every book about Shackleton's epic voyage to Antarctica, and this book is by far the best. It is written by the captain, so it is first hand info, written from his personal diary. The details are magnificent; you are there, alternately shivering or tasting the caribou fur in your mouth. This book makes Lansing's book look like toast; and Lansing's book is good!Book Review: Endurance
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to buy this book written by its original Captain Frank A. Worsley, and the incredible story of the "little brave Endurance".
Great story from Antartica and Sr. Ernest Shackleton's boat trip in 1914 to Antartica, and his strategic leading to save all of his men and bring them back home.
A lesson from yesterday's leaders, for today leaders.
Book Review: outstanding account of courage.
Summary: 5 Stars
The only negative thing this reviewer found in this outstanding account was in the preface by Patrick O'Brien. His depth of research was not evident in his introduction as in the very first sentence he makes a glaring error in stating that Shackleton was on Scott's last expedition. An insignificant mistake but irksome to the student of polar exploration.Book Review: Overcoming the odds
Summary: 5 Stars
Without a doubt the best adventure book I've ever read. I found myself reading section after section of this incredible story out loud to my wife. Part of the reason this particular book is so compelling is that it is written by the Captain of the Endurance and not someone removed from this epic by decades of perspective. A truly inspiring story.
