Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Dust Jacket. 2004 Paperback Edition; 508 pages, illustrated, 40 b/w and colour photographs, 9 maps. Written with the energy and style that have made Fiennes' other books so popular, 'Captain Scott' is the enthralling story of an extraordinary man. Biography written with the co-operation of the Scott Estate, and which seeks to re-establish Scott's reputation after its decline following Roland Huntford's book on Scott and Amundsen. An experienced polar traveller himself, Fiennes concludes that Scott's decisions were generally either logical, or inevitable in the circumstances, and that the catastrophe was down to extreme bad luck with the weather. Amundsen is depicted as fortunate (and duplicitous), Armitage and Cherry-Garrard as unreliable witnesses in their later years, and Oates' criticisms as the sort of grumbles many expedition members will make about their leader under the intense strain of expeditions. Softcover edition. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Arctic & Antarctic; Exploration. ISBN/EAN: 9780340826997.
