In 2018 Captain Louis Rudd MBE walked into the history books when he
finished a solo, unsupported crossing of Antarctica, pulling a 130 kg
sledge laden with his supplies for more than 900 miles. Louis’ skills
had been honed in the SAS, on operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, but
now – in the most hostile environment on earth – they would be tested
like never before. Alone on the ice, Louis battled through whiteouts,
50 mph gales and temperatures of -30 degrees Celsius. It would take all
his mental strength to survive.
In this gripping book Louis reveals how a thirst for adventure saw him
join the Royal Marines at sixteen and then pass the SAS selection
course at only twenty-two. He describes his first gruelling polar
expedition with legendary explorer Lieutenant Colonel Henry Worsley in
2011 and the leadership challenges he faced a few years later when he
led a team of Army Reservists across Antarctica. And he takes us with
him step by painful step as he pushes himself to the limit, travelling
alone on his epic and lonely trek across the continent’s treacherous
ice fields and mountains.
With edge-of-the-seat storytelling, Endurance is an awe-inspiring
account of courage and resilience by a remarkable man.
