Industry Reviews
"Ms. Alexander has sensibly, and ably, concentrated on the characters and interactions of the men, as revealed in diaries and letters, and used her text as a frame for previously unpublished pictures by the expedition's Australian photographer, Frank Hurley."
Atlantic Monthly - Pheobe-Lou Adams (02/19/1999)
"Caroline Alexander's book makes use of the fantastic photographs of [James Frank] Hurley, who was dauntless in capturing the men and the scenes of the adventure....Her writing is clear and swift, and she concentrates on the human drama while not slighting the mechanical and technical details."
Boston Globe - David Mehegan (01/03/1999)
"The one great merit of [this book] is that it has 140 photographs...turning the book into an enthralling magic-lantern show."
New York Review of Books - Jonathan Raban (06/10/1999)
