In this gripping dual biography, Huntford reexamines every detail
of the great race to the South Pole between Britain's Robert Scott
and Norway's Raoul Amundsen. Scott, who died along with four of his
men only 11 miles from his next cache of supplies, became Britain's
beloved failure while Amundsen, who not only beat Scott to the Pole
but returned alive, was largely forgotten. A brilliant and highly
readable history which captures the driving ambitions of the era
and the complex, often deeply flawed, men who were charged with
carrying them out.
