5.0 out of 5 stars A world-wide roller-coaster ride, 24 Jan 2002
Fergus Fleming's book is a prodigiously researched and scholarly account of the wide range of expeditions undertaken by an equally diverse number of explorers sent out by John Barrow during the period of his secretaryship at the Admiralty from 1816 to 1845.
Along the way you will be astounded at the extent of human endurance and suffering and by the insight into the leader's characters, as well as the quantity and quality of detail for each and every trip. You will learn more about human nature in this one volume expounding Barrow's questing, than from a whole barrow-load of Bibles and Korans.
Buy it, read it and be enthralled and awed by the experiences of these intrepid men and their tireless searching.
