The Last Place on Earth: Scott and Amundsen's Race to the South Pole, Revised and Updated by Roland Huntford

3.0

The Last Place on Earth is an exhaustive, well-researched account of Scott and Amundsen's race to the South Pole, but I can't rate it any higher because of the author's huge bias against Scott. I get it--Scott isn't my favorite either, but contempt and loathing ooze off every page, which makes it a little hard to trust the author's conclusions.
