pp. 254, appendices, index, color photographs throughout. Book in vg condition, binding clean and tight. “Swan’s gripping account of their astonishing journey draws on the entire team’s diaries and is illustrated with breathtaking colour photographs of the awesome Arctic wilderness. Even when they stood jubilant at the Pole, their troubles were not over. Retrieval aircraft were prevented from takeoff by the airstrip splintering in the spring thaw and, after fifty-six grueling days, the fragile bonding of the team almost snapped. This candid chronicle of their courage and endurance is one of the most enthralling stories of our time.”
