Captain Scott's Antarctic Sacrifice
The story of Captain Scott's last Antarctic expedition is one of the greatest        adventure stories ever told. Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Lieutenant Henry Bowers,        Petty Officer Edgar Evans, Captain Lawrence Oates, and Dr Edward Wilson all died on        the return trek from the South Pole, starved and frozen, only eleven miles from a        supply camp. In November 1912, a rescue party discovered their last letters and        diaries, which told a story of bravery, hardship, and self-sacrifice thatshocked the        world.Recent decades have seen controversy rage over whether Scott was the last of a        line of great Victorian explorers, intent on discovering uncharted lands, or a        hopeless incompetent driven by personal ambition. Rejecting the stereotypes, Max        Jones reveals a complex figure, a product of the passions and preoccupations of an        imperial age. He also shows how heroes are made and manipulated, through a close        examination of the unprecedented outpouring of public grief at the news of the death        ofScott.
