Summary
The real story of one of the greatest explorers who ever lived by the man described by the Guinness Book of Records as ‘the world's greatest living explorer’.
Sir Ranulph Fiennes is uniquely qualified to write a new biography of Captain Scott. This is the first biography of Scott by someone who has experienced the deprivations, the stress and the sheer physical pain that Scott lived through. Ranulph Fiennes tells the story of Scott’s life – and discusses how his achievements have been viewed after his death – with empathy and great skill.

Push past the narration
Ranulph is rather dreary but his insights at the end are worth the entire book.

Ace, Read Shackleton next!
I love an inspirational storey read by someone that’s been there. This book is put together and read by a doer in life. I have pushed myself close to death in Motorsport and understand the drive, selfish commitment, and shear bloody mindedness of Scott and Fiennes that is required.
I want to here it told by the real thing not an actor.
Well done, and as I put in the Title “Shackleton” on Audible is a stunner!

Fiennes best written work
An amazing true adventure story I thought I knew.
Told with honesty and experience only a true polar explorer could give you.
It doesn't make me want to follow in Scott's deep icy footsteps but wow what a group of Incredibly brave and nobel men they were.

An extraordinary insight into an extraordinary man and his team
Ranulph Fiennes rights with brilliant determination to find truth. In these modern times, it is so easy for individuals looking for fame to put down those have gone before without walking in their shoes. Thank you, Randolph for shedding light on HUMAN, courage, resilience, leadership, and kindness.

An excellent knowledgeable history
Ralph Finnes brings the Scott expeditions to life by drawing on his own wealth of knowledge about artic and Antarctic exploration.

Well researched
Convincing argument based on extensive research and first hand experience. As a story I found the Shackleton book much more entertaining as the performance was a little too dry until the last chapter where Fiennes seemed to show a little more passion.

Brilliantly told by a National Treasure.
Gripping tale of an expedition into the unknown by Fiennes pulling first hand experiences and on diaries from the original members of the crew.
Couldn’t stop listening.
