SynopsisIn 1914, an expedition headed by Sir Ernest Shackleton set out to be the first to cross the continent of Antarctica. Shipwrecked and marooned for months on end, their ill-fated voyage became a triumphant story of indomitable courage and faith in the face of astounding obstacles. A bestseller since it was first published in 1959, Alfred Lansing's Endurance now features a foreword and afterword from Dr. James Dobson--inspiring every reader to persevere no matter how impossible the challenge.

Classic. Skip the Dobson commentary.
Endurance is a classic, must-read, book for everyone. Even though the doomed expedition to the South Pole is well over 100 years old, and the book itself was published mid-2000th century, it still holds up today. Around every page lurks yet another disaster for Shakleton and his crew of 28 stalwart men. The only gripe I had about this edition was the unwanted intrusion from "Doctor" James Dobson. When I purchased this book, it was not made clear that it came from a Christian Reading room. Dr. Dobson's skill in writing was no where comparable to Lansings. By stuffing his own and far-overreaching opinions on Shackelton's thoughts during the voyage, it colored some of the book in a distasteful light. Other than this minor slip, Endurance is.... enduring.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Don't miss this incredible story!
If you love true stories of adventure and exploration, endurance in the face of overwhelming adversity, overcoming "impossible" odds, camaraderie under brutal conditions, and impeccable leadership in crisis, this book is for you. It rivals the stories and books of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the Burger Wills Expedition, and America's lunar space program in all of these areas. And did I mention all of this comes with actual photographs of the people, events, and places recounted in the book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
