How did a crew of 38 men sur­vive when their ship Endurance was swal­lowed by the sea? Ship­wrecked, the men were cold, wet, and hun­gry for two years in a the great­est tale of sur­vival ever told. Dis­cov­er what hap­pened on the last great polar explo­ration led by cap­tain Ernest Shack­le­ton in The Endurance Expe­di­tion.

Reviews

“These titles offer con­cise, insight­ful analy­sis of events that have left a mark on past and recent Amer­i­can his­to­ry … Each vol­ume pro­vides read­ers with the nec­es­sary his­tor­i­cal con­text, the per­ti­nent details of the events them­selves, and the short-term effects and last­ing lega­cies of each one … With­in the frame­work of the nar­ra­tives, judi­cious side­bars, and pho­tographs and oth­er images, read­ers are intro­duced to what should be stan­dard research top­ics. Each book con­cludes with a handy time­line; bul­let­ed facts; a glos­sary; and a brief bib­li­og­ra­phy of sec­ondary sources, web links, and places to vis­it. Over­all, these titles are excel­lent intro­duc­tions to these impor­tant top­ics, par­tic­u­lar­ly for devel­op­ing an ana­lyt­i­cal frame­work for debate” (Essen­tial Events Set 8, reviewed by School Library Journal)
