They were both essential to get all of my questions answered about what happened to that party; however I remained uncomfortably curious about what happened to the Ross Sea Party because they were only alluded to. "Shakletons Forgotten Men" was awesome because it showed how what happened to the Ross Sea Party was as strenuous and heroic as the Endurance experience. It also portrayed the perfect contrast to great leadership by the aweful domino effect of what happens when people are under poor leadership (not hideous leadership; just typical). I learned some great things about myself and my motivations and my will from reading this book. The book also totally explains why it could only be written now and not decades ago. I was very satisfied with the answer and felt like I could trust the authors portrayl of the experience of the Ross Sea Party. I give it only 4 stars because the writer was a little hard to follow at times (I eventually put some things together later). It didn't interefere too much with the story though; which I highly reccomend!16 of 16 people found the following review helpful. A most remarkable story of survivalBy Robert R. BriggsIf you are a Shackleton fan; then this book is sure to delight you. The epic of Endurance has been given the most publicity but this story is every bit as captivating. These men; who had the responsibility to place food and supply depots for Shackleton's intended journey across Antarctica; endured hardship beyond description. They were totally dedicated to their task and their devotion to Shackleton is heartwarming. It proves; once again; his leadership prevailed even though he was almost 2;000 miles away from them. The writer gives a good insight into each of the characters and; as you read; you will feel you are enduring the journey yourself. It is without a doubt; one of the greatest stories of survival and a tribute to the toughness of the human spirit to prevail.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
