South! The Story of Shackleton's Last Expedition, 1914-1917 is the riveting blow-by-blow narrative of the ill-fated polar expedition of the Endurance from the mouth of the Captain, Sir Ernest Shackleton himself.  Part adventure tale, part story of survival, the British explorer's detailed journal is one of the most gripping tales of heroism and survival in the face of almost certain death to have ever been told.
