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.

An amazing story told in a matter-of-fact way that had me in tears at the end. It is very well written and narrated and the men’s courage and endurance shine through. Makes me ashamed of making a fuss about minor aches and pains!

A time when men were made of sturner stuff. A modest hand shake after 14 month of gruelling hell - makes you proud to be an Englishman.

Fantastic story

An amazing story of adventure, leadership, navigation and determination. If 'Everest' is now synonymous with any great challenge 'Endurance' and it's story have to represent survival against the odds. Gets more impressive every time I read it.
