Bill Bryson has done it again.
Not only an amusing frolic around and in Australia, but also a very insightful historical dabble into this somewhat forgotten "planet".

from Carroll & Graf
Price: $7.21

Customer Review:
"ENDURANCE", what a tale. It is hard to imagine a modern group of men from the civilized world enduring such an adventure. Surrounded by all our modern technology, modern civilized man is probably not capable of "enduring" such a physical and mental epic. Modern technology would not allow the... more info

Explorer Ernest Shackleton didn't know when he named his boat "The Endurance" that he would be foreshadowing a survival experience for the ages.

This book is a wonderful combination of a history book (Captain Cook) and a travel narrative. The author is very thorough and has a good sense of humor. Captain Cook is one of the greatest explorers of all time and this book will inform you and entertain you at the same time.

If you ever wanted to know the real story if the Greatest Volcanic Eruption in modern times, this is it.

from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.37

Customer Review:
Having enjoyed books on the subject of Shackleton's attempt at the South Pole, a friend suggested I check out this book concerning Scott's journey. The irony of these two stories is that Shackleton's trip (detailed very well in the book Endurance) was a failure in all regards except for the fact... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $7.68

Customer Review:
A terrific story, painful to read because of the many wasted opportunities. I wish this book were on any commander's reading list. Especially the Special Forces guys: an exercise in modesty and realpolitics.

from Viking Adult
Price: $2.48

Customer Review:
Like many today, the only knowledge I had of the mutiny on the Bounty had come in bits and pieces from popular culture. I was well aware of the portrait of Bligh as a tyrannical madman forcing his subordinates to his will. However, is that characterization correct? If not, then why would his men... more info

from Three Rivers Press
Price: $8.63

Customer Review:
I read the Ghost Mountain Boys right after reading the "US Army in WWII: Victory in Papua" as I wanted to get some more details on this campaign. The two books complement each other nicely.
