Review summary

This seller has earned a 4.49 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
4.49 / 5 (209 total reviews)

Reviewers overwhelmingly praised Alfred Lansing’s account of Shackleton’s Endurance expedition as a vivid, tightly sourced narrative built from crew diaries and photographs. They described it as tense, harrowing, and physically immersive—some even called it stressful—yet deeply inspiring in its portrayal of leadership and collective resolve. Many recommended editions with Frank Hurley’s photos and singled out the audiobook for excellence. Dissenting notes included some perceived repetitiveness mirroring the monotony of survival, a wish for a fuller epilogue on the men’s later lives, and occasional criticism of Shackleton’s judgment and imperial bravado. Overall sentiment was strongly enthusiastic.

From the publisher

The legendary and harrowing tale of British explorer Ernest Shackelton's 1914 shipwreck on Antarctic ice - and how his leadership rescued his crew

"One of the greatest adventure stories of our time." -New York Times Book Review

In August 1914, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton boarded the Endurance and set sail for Antarctica, where he planned to cross the last uncharted continent on foot. In January 1915, after battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and only a day's sail short of its destination, the Endurance became locked in an island of ice. Thus began the legendary ordeal of Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men. When their ship was finally crushed between two ice floes, they attempted a near-impossible journey over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization.

In Endurance, the definitive account of Ernest Shackleton's fateful trip, Alfred Lansing brilliantly narrates the harrowing and miraculous voyage that has defined heroism for the modern age.
