- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Well written and enlightening information, something I most assuredly didn't learn in high school or college.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A short but gripping tale of one of the greatest feats of exploration. I had but the most meager knowledge of what these men accomplished and the incredible hardships they overcome. Well worth the listen
