3.0

This book was more about middle Eastern politics and his platoons manoeuvres than heat based expeditions, but I actually really enjoyed this unexpected part of it. It was however quote poorly edited/proof read. There were s number of repetitions (of stories, exact phrases in some cases) and a number of typos (hyperthermia instead of hypothermia being one memorable one, and a handful of spellings errors). It wasn't as good as "Cold" and ended very abruptly, but enjoyable for those interested in expedition stories all the same.
