The Life of Sir Ernest Shackleton
About this book
Hugh Robert Mill's tells the Exceptional life story of Sir. Ernest Shackleton.
There are no simple words to describe Sir. Ernest Shackleton. He was a man with a unique, extraordinarily unique mind, to be able to lead his men in one of the most dismal situations ever. A situation that would have been easiest to buckle to self defeat and surrender; but he was a man that didn't believe in giving up. Shackleton and his men made it because he believed in them and they believed in him.
