I'll leave you with the one I just finished: "Endurance". It's about Ernest Shackleton's incredible attempt to cross the Antarctic continent back in the early 1900s. Amazing story of perseverance and leadership against all odds. Riveting book. – source2020-04-14T02:04:50.000Z
@MattWalshBlog Terrific book. Riveting. What a story. If you ever want a fun fictionalization of the genre, AMC’s adaptation of Dan Simmons’ The Terror is tons of fun. Based on a real voyage with horror story added. – source2022-03-09T13:02:46.000Z
