Alfred Lansing's 1959 account of Ernest Shackleton's 1914–16 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition — where his ship was crushed by ice and the entire crew survived through extraordinary leadership — the definitive account of survival leadership.
Creates the definitive Shackleton survival narrative — Lansing's Endurance (based on crew diaries and interviews) is the most complete account of Shackleton's leadership during the expedition's failure; it is the most widely cited example of crisis leadership in business and military education.
No recorded contemporaries.
