About this listen

 The year was 1915. Equipment and food supplies were totally inadequate. After battling its way for six weeks through thousands of miles of pack ice and located only a day's sail from its destination, the Endurance became locked inside an island of ice. Yet Ernest Shackleton enabled all 27 of his men to survive for over a year on the ice-bound Antarctic seas - leadership without equal. This gripping account is based on contemporaneous diaries and interviews conducted by the author with these exceptional men.©1959 Alfred Lansing (P)2000 by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp.

Watching a 90 minute documentary is no match against this 6 hour long story. I'm so moced by the resilience, perseverance and courage of these 28 men.

A wonderful reading of an incredible story. What those men overcame is truly hard to believe. I almost felt I was there…in the comfort of my own house.

We all know what happened in the end. They made it. They came back alive. Yet, I was gripped every minute by this story. The deprivations, hardship, perpetual exhaustive demands upon the men's physical and psychological resources was incredible. Having been to Antarctica I had a sense of what the expedition would have encountered, so stepped out of my usual genres to try this title. Best book I've heard in many months. It kept me up til the wee hours and I'm still going on about it to friends. Highly recommend this book.
