Alfred Lansing (1921-1975) was a native of Chicago. The way they engineer their own rescue is hardly to be believed. Anyone 12 or older will be blown away by this true story & this writer! Endurance: Shackleton’s Incredible Voyage – by Alfred Lansing Date read: 5/18/19. Once they were far enough north that the ice thinned somewhat, they were forced to journey in lifeboats they'd dragged off the ship.

I bought the audio CD as I love to listen to books on the way to and from work and this one is of particularly high quality as the voice actor does an amazing job of using accents and real emotion while telling the story. This is being advertised as a story of "leadership" and "heroism" when it's more like the opposite. Believe he's the only crew member who accompanied both Shackelton's and Scott's failed bids for the pole. He then joined the United Press and in 1952 became a freelance writer. Alfred Lansing (1921–1975) was the editor of a weekly newspaper in Illinois, and later worked for the United Press and Collier’s. The description really paints a true picture of the hellacious conditions that they continued to face time and time again. Brief content visible, double tap to read full content. Seriously. While reading this novel, I never ceased to feel amazed at the courage of the group of men who undertook a voyage into most unfriendly regions on our planet more than 100 years ago, and who dared to dare.
