Product description

Amazon.com review.

Through the diaries of team members and interviews with survivors, Lansing reconstructs the months of terror and hardship the Endurance crew suffered. In October of 1915, there "were no helicopters, no Weasels, no Sno-Cats, no suitable planes. Thus their plight was naked and terrifying in its simplicity. If they were to get out--they had to get themselves out." How Shackleton did indeed get them out without the loss of a single life is at the heart of Lansing's magnificent true-life adventure tale.

" Endurance is one of the most gripping, suspenseful, intense stories anyone will ever read."

"Without doubt a classic, rousing tale of the heroic age of exploration."

"Riveting."

"This painstakingly written authentic adventure story will rank as one of the classic tales of the heroic age of exploration."

"Grit in the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity."

"Simon Prebble gives each [of the crew] a unique voice, from Cockney to Scot. He ambles engagingly through the calmer moments of the narrative and grabs the listener by the lapels when the going gets rough...Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award."
