Reseña del editor
This pictorial biography celebrates the life of Tom Crean, a great Irish hero of Antarctic exploration in an age of epics of endurance and survival against the odds. Tom ran away from his Kerry farm at 15 to play an outstanding role in three expeditions with the legendary Shackleton and Captain Scott. But his incredible story was largely forgotten until the publication of the best-selling "An Unsung Hero" in 2000. Only then was the modest, unassuming Irishman given the recognition he deserved. The extraordinary highlights of his adventures in the ice were captured in some exceptional photographs taken under the most difficult conditions. These have now been assembled for the first time to present a photographic record of a truly astonishing man, together with other rare and previously unseen pictures. The range of photographs illustrates his early life, the incredible feats in the Antarctic and a peaceful retirement in Kerry. Supported by complimentary text, diary extracts and maps plus new information on Tom Crean's life, this is a lasting celebration of a true hero.
