1 comments about The Lost Men: The Harrowing Story of Shackleton's Ross Sea Party.
- "The Lost Men" is a book about the 1914 expedition to the Antarctic. I had thought it would be more of a historical fiction but found it was a report of the men's diaries. While these were the facts of the story, it made for dry reading.
I did learn things that I didn't know such as why the men were left in the Antarctic for so long and how they survived. But I got very tired of hearing repeatedly the names of each member of the party and the dryness that comes from reporting dates. By the end of the audio book, I could recite each member's name by heart.
The report also told of the stupidity of Sir Ernest Shackleton and how he wanted so badly to be the first to do the crossing that he went ahead with a very ill-equipped group of men, dogs who were not properly trained and not enough supplies or fuel. If this book was intended to make you feel sorry or in awe of the men, it did just the opposite. It showed that men can be so consumed with accomplishing something that no one else has that they will allow bad judgment to rule them rather than think things through to their proper conclusion. While I was glad to know that all but three of the men survived, it made me wonder why anyone would go, knowing they just might give up their life to do so.
Graeme Malcolm, the reader, was superb! His voice lent a real-life quality to each person because he gave each nationality their correct accent. British or Australian, each was very clear as to which ethnic group each man belonged.
