"Shackleton's Boat Journey" by F. A. Worsley is a first hand account of the journey, written by the Captain of the Endurance.
No fluff in this book, it gets directly to the action. Worsley has a very direct writing style which is easy to read.
- anjbe 5y agoI concur, Worsley’s account of the voyage is excellent and highly worth reading.
- jfk13 5y agoMost definitely agreed; I read it many years ago as a youngster, and have never forgotten it. For a different telling of the expedition more generally, Mrs Chippy's Last Expedition is worth a look: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/128731.Mrs_Chippy_s_Last_Expedition https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/128731.Mrs_Chippy_s_Last...
