This work was amongst the first works of the later half of the twentieth century which cast doubts on Robert Falcon Scott's reputation, which had previously been glowing of a hero. It drew attention to his haphazard planning and lack of foresight; although his reputation has since been bolstered during the twenty-first century, many biographers still reason this to be true. Written by David Thomson, this work was later reissued in 2002 as 'Scott, Shackleton and Amundsen'. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBound in original blue publisher's cloth with original unclipped dust jacket.
