1977 Scott's Men

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

This work was amongst the first works of the later half of the twentieth century which cast doubts on Robert Falcon Scott's reputation, which had previously been glowing of a hero. It drew attention to his haphazard planning and lack of foresight; although his reputation has since been bolstered during the twenty-first century, many biographers still reason this to be true.

Written by David Thomson, this work was later reissued in 2002 as 'Scott, Shackleton and Amundsen'.

Containing twenty-eight illustrations, including portraits and photographs. Collated, complete.

A fascinating examination of the people and influences surrounding renowned Polar explorer Robert Falcon Scott.
