Ian's Reviews > An Unsung Hero: Tom Crean – Antarctic Survivor

I'm a real sucker for these action adventure stories. Loved Shackleton's 'South' and I've read it a couple of times. I'd heard of Tom Crean before in my reading and that's what made me read this biography. It's a great book and a great story. The early polar explorers were made of titanium with a Kevlar coating (only Kevlar hadn't been invented then!). Maybe a bit niche, but I recommend it.
