“Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage is one of those rare non-fiction books that transcends its genre. Lansing’s account of the 1914-1916 expedition — the ship crushed by ice, months on drifting floes, an 800-mile open-boat journey to South Georgia, and a mountain crossing with no equipment — has been a bestseller for decades. Every detail comes from the crew members who lived through it.”
