Historian David Crane, with full access to the explorer's papers, diaries, and expedition records, gives us an illuminating portrait of Robert Falcon Scott that is more nuanced and balanced than any we have had before. In reassessing Scott's life, Crane is able to provide a fresh perspective on not only the Discovery expedition of 1901--4 and the Terra Nova expedition of 1910--13, but his remarkable scientific achievements and the challenges of his tumultuous private life.

The result is an absolutely compelling portrait of a complicated hero.
