“A brilliant piece of research by Huntford, drawing on numerous unpublished sources including important diaries of Shackleton associates that became available for review after Margery and James Fisher’s biography of 1959. This book and the biographies by Hugh Robert Mill and the Fishers are the principle Shackleton reference works. Huntford presents by far a more balanced and credible review of Shackleton than he did with Scott.” — Rosove
