Race for the South Pole, while allowing the reader to savour the contrasts between the expedition diaries of Scott, Amundsen and Bjaaland, also shows Huntford in continued argument with his sources.--,
Kurzbeschreibung
For the first time ever Roland Huntford presents each man's account of the race to the South Pole in their own words. In 1910, Robert Falcon Scott and Roald Amundsen set sail for Antarctica, each from his own starting point, and the epic race for the South Pole was on. 2010, marks the centenary of the last great race of terrestrial discovery. For the first time Scott's unedited diary entries run alongside those of Amundsen and Bjaaland, never before translated into English. Cutting through the welter of controversy, with the polar journey at the heart of the story Huntford weaves a narrative frpm the protagonists explanations of their own fate. What emerges is a whole new understanding of what really happened on the ice.

South Pole Student Wins
21. Juli 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I, like many of you, had refused to buy the edited version of Robert F. Scott's expedition diary. The unedited version may have been available somewhere, but I discontinued searching for it a long time ago. Finally, we have Scott's unedited expedition diary {edited words are bold and italicized} as well as Roald Amundsen's and Olav Bjaaland's expedition diaries competently translated into English. For those less familiar, Bjaaland was the ski champion on Amundsen's team of five that went to the South Pole. He was also the only one of Amundsen's group that was not specifically a trained navigator, yet expertly proved his 'intuitive mountain sense' throughout the journey.
This is a personality revealing book as well as for logistics. For those interested in logistics, all latitude/longitude,
temperatures, nautical miles, etc. are covered on a day to day basis. For those interested in personalities, have at it.
Just read the expedition diaries alone, and you can decide for yourself.
I'll not cover the specifics in this review, let it suffice that there are some formidable players in both parties. The diaries for each day and for each man are side by side.
If you have accumulated a small library on the discovery of the South Pole, this book will answer many questions and ensure
a solid knowledge about specific characters, time line of events, and of events on a day to day basis. Each depot, location, contents, many useful maps of different scales, illustrations and dozens of photograghs are also here.
For the casual reader on this subject, possibly for the first time, a clear chronological story will evolve full of facts and curiously intricate characters. In their own words, ofcoarse.

Race to the South Pole
26. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Great book on the simultaneous effort of Scott and Edmunson to reach the South Pole 100 years ago. Well written insight and background but neatest is the side by side journal entries and efforts. Well done, worthwhile read for any Pole exploring readers.

Extreme Bias overwhelms historical content
10. Januar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Anyone who has read about the race for the south pole is aware of the different camps in favor of Scott or Amundsen. The real facts show that both men were strong courageous leaders. Amundsen's sole purpose was to reach the pole. Reaching the pole for Scott, while important, was not the end all of the exploration trip. This is the first book which has both of the leaders journals. For that fact alone, it is worth having. But........Huntford's extreme bias against Scott almost makes the book unreadable. I have read just about every book on these men. Both had great strengths and both had their faults. But in Huntford's eyes, Amundsen could never do anything wrong, and Scott could never do anything right. This comes through in page after page and blemishes what should be a nice addition to the books on this era. One would do well to read the diaries on their own and skip Huntford's narration. He continually finds hidden meanings in the writings of both men 100 years after the fact, at times with very thin backup or correlation. Both men should be praised. Huntford's bias is not just against Scott but the entire British Empire. It's too bad that what should be an important book is ruined by Huntford's obsession with ruining the reputation of Scott and glorifying that of Amundsen. For that reason, it is wise to avoid this book and read other much better and historically accurate descriptions of this time in history.
