The explorations of the intrepid Arctic explorers hold a singular fascination for me. These are places I would never wish to go and I have no frame of reference for the below zero degree temperatures they recorded. In 1881, Lt. Adolphus W. Greely commands a volunteer crew of U.S military officers and others on a scientific expedition with several goals. His first responsibility was to set up the northernmost research station in the Arctic, where he and his men would collect and record meteorological and other scientific data. They would also look for clues as to what happened to the USS Jeannette, whose men had vanished. Lastly, Greely intended to reach the North Pole or at the very least Farthest North. When Greely accepted this command, he was aware that it was normal to have a 50 percent loss of life on expeditions into the arctic. Even though he was married with two young daughters at home, still Greely felt up to the challenge. He was battle-hardened, having fought during the Civil War and worked his way up through the ranks. A man of discipline, he expected a lot from his men.Buddy Levy writes a detailed and frank account of the lives of Greely and his men and the hardships they faced. In the back of the book, a bibliography lists books and resources that Levy used to create this book. He says it’s enough reading to keep someone going a year or two. Rather than do all that reading, I recommend reading this book. I was never bored, and in fact, as the hardsh.

Fans of polar exploration tales (true or fiction) and those who like adventure stories should pick this up immediately. While carefully and exhaustively researched, it never falls into the trap of fact fact fact- it has a beating heart that makes you care about the men on the expedition. No one expected the Lady Bay Franklin expedition, also know as the Greely expedition after the man who led it, to turn into the nightmare it became. The first section of this fascinating book details the preparations, the rest is the journey, intermixed with the efforts of Henrietta Greely to save her husband (the parts about Washington are a welcome addition). JW Greely was ill equipped to lead this effort but he did, and he did manage to collect, with his team, significant and important data. No spoilers as to how the group survived (and who survived) when it all went wrong. Thanks to the publisher for the ARC. Read this not only for the knowledge you will gain but also as a thriller. Highly recommend.

I’m still reading this but I have to say that the description of the conditions and hardships is exemplary. As a historical account, it’s very well researched and written. I seriously doubt that you could get a group of men to volunteer to reproduce the experience today without “ringing the bell” by day two or three. Just the lack of suitable clothing and footwear would be bad enough but then to have to endure the bitter cold, four months of Arctic night, physical agony on a starvation diet of seal blubber and pemican all at once, let alone for three years – no thanks. A great insight into the hardships endured by early explorers. Now back to my soft leather recliner!

I read this book during the COVID shut down. The horrors faced by these men were far worse than my current inconveniences and was a great way to put things in perspective. I have read Buddy Levy’s other books as well and this one was a well written and researched as the others. A harrowing story and a great insight into the psychology of survival.

If you’ve ever thought you’ve had a truly bad outdoors experience, read this book and it might just change your mind. Reading this is like being part of the adventure, through good times and bad. I found myself hooked on this book from the first chapter and as the odds of any of the crew surviving began to seem impossible, I read on, with my body tensing as the story unfolded.I liked this book for a lot of reasons, but partially it was because it is not a dull and dry account of history, but one that pulls the reader in and makes you really feel the cold, the loneliness, the hunger and the range of experiences these men lived (and died) for. In the end, I found myself quite emotionally involved in the story, as one is with a good adventure tale, except this one really happened.If you are the sort of person who likes to read stories of real-life survival, then this is a book that you will not want to miss. The tale is harrowing, but yet still filled with hope and determination to survive against the ravages of nature.I highly recommend this book. I’m also grateful I’m not reduced to eating my shoes and blankets.This review is based on a complimentary copy from the publisher, provided through Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

Excellent book again by Levy, this time on the ill-fated Greely expedition.

I first found out about this book because football coach Mike Leach promoted it on Twitter. When I saw his comments, I became intrigued.There is a lot to like about this book. It’s historic. It’s compelling. It’s non-fiction, but with the feel of a Jack London classic. But more than anything else, it’s also a gold mine of practical leadership, which is even better than reading a book on theoretical leadership. There is so much for the reader to take from this book. To see how Lieutenant Greely changed the way he interacted with his crew from start to finish was an astonishing transformation. At the beginning of the story, he was the leader in title only. By the end, even in the midst of tragedy, he was their leader only because of his influence. When lives are at stake, titles don’t matter anymore. He would not have achieved this status without adapting to the needs of his team. As the author states,”Adolphus Greely was ambitious and dedicated, a complex figure with a powerful intellect; he was equally versed in science, mathematics, language, cultures, history, and the arts. A true polymath. A man of destiny. But it was his leadership, perhaps above all else, that should be remembered… He understood how to delegate, how to read personalities for their strengths and weaknesses, when to push, and when to relinquish. Adrift and imperiled on the ice floes in the deadly Kane Basin, Greely showed a capacity for change, and he adjusted his leadership style to become more diplomat.
