Author: Ranulph Fiennes, 508 pages, paperback.
Sir Ranulph Fiennes is uniquely qualified to write a new biography of Captain Scott. This is the first biography of Scott by someone who has experienced the deprivations, the stress and the sheer physical pain that Scott lived through; he has suffered all but the final tragedy endured by the much maligned Scott. He is determined to put the record straight.
As well as being the definitive biography of Scott, written with the full and exclusive cooperation of the Scott Estate, this book traces the way that Scott’s reputation has been attacked and his achievements distorted.
Sir Ranulph Fiennes has done Captain Scott’s memory some service…he has certainly written a more dispassionate and balanced account than Huntford ever set out to do.’ – Simon Courtauld, Spectator
