A Life of Courage and Tragedy
by David Crane
A richly illuminating biography of Robert Falcon Scott, and the first to transcend the myths that have taken root in the story of his life.
"Starred Review. If ever a man needed saving from the enthusiasm of his admirers," Crane begins, "it was Scott." But although this hefty biography strips away much of the legend and mystique surrounding the polar expeditions of Robert Falcon Scott, it's still infused with hero worship." - PW.
