A crow's nest perch to the first U.S. expedition to the North Pole...[A] CHILLING STORY. (Vincent Bugliosi)

Has arrived safely in China.

Thanks for sending it my way. It is exactly the sort of thing that I like to read.

I am off backpacking around Yunnan Province and am taking this book to read and release along the way.

This book wa sin my backpack as I travelled through Lijiang - Tiger Leaping Gorge - Shangri-La - Daocheng - I finally read it in one sitting on the 8 hour bus ride from Kangding to Chengdu. This wa spossible as for the first time in quite a why there were paved roads. The Shangr-La - Daocheng - Kangding roads were all high valley dirst tracks with too much bouncing around to read.

I loved this adveture story. Ever since childhood I have been fascinated by exploration adventures, especially to the arctic/antarctic. I can't belive how unenthusisatic the people on this voyage were...why sign up to a trip to the north pole when you don't want to go? There was also a lot un unappreciation for those who were keeping them alive. I guess, in a desperate situation people allow there fear to turn them into morons!

Left on book swap shelf.
