Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Wally Herbert has in this compelling and well researched dissertation, taken the claims of Robert E. Peary, and subjected them to a historical and geograhical judgement. It is the opinion of Mr. Herbert, that Peary never reached the pole. I feel that Mr. Herbert came to this conclusion not out of any vindictiveness, but rather to set the historical record straight. The book pays great respect to the bravery, craft and intelligence of Peary. Mr. Herbert is an explorer and expert navigator, and his knowledge of the Polar regions allows him to pass an objective opinion on this matter. The text is concise and also inspiring to a receptive mind.
