Review
Max Jones and the publishers are to be congratulated on this new version of a classic story, and for offering it at such a reasonable price. It should be the last word for a very long time. (Peter Speak, Polar Record, Vol 42/2, 2006 )
'scrupulously scholarly edition... There is nobody who knows more about the Scott mythology than Jones does. With a bit of luck this book will give [Scott] back to the public he deserves.' (David Crane, The Spectator )
'a damn good read' (Literary review )
'The whole script can be found in the latest edition of Scott's diary published by OUP, 'Journals: Captain Scott's Last Expedition'. Ably introduced and edited by Max Jones, this is the full, unexpurgated thing.' (Fergus Fleming, Literary Review )
'thanks to the journals - reprinted now by Oxford University Press, with a new introduction and extensive notes - that we have such a clear picture of Scott's last expedition.' (Beryl Bainbridge, The Times )
'The most gripping story of polar exploration ever written. It is an adventure full of incident and drama, courage and endurance, hope and bitter disappointment with a tragic end. Max Jones's new edition provides fascinating insights into Scott's character and a wealth of extra material.' Sir Ranulph Fiennes
'This is an inexpensive, well-produced and thoroughly annotated edition of an explorers' bible; the journal of a man who finds it "good to know that there remain wild corners of this dreadfully civilised world".' (Mick Herron, Geographical )
'allows the modern reader an insight into the mindset of this now iconic figure' (David Musgrove, BBC History ) --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
