Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Wonderfully constructed. Extraordinarily incisive. Regulary revelatory." - Peter FitzSimons, The Sydney Morning Herald"While Day's tone is always measured, and his claims backed up by primary sources, his icy rendering of Mawson will undoubtedly prove controversial among Antarctic historians, some of whom have charged him with revisionism. But for the ordinary reader, the tale of a hero succumbing to his all-consuming monomania may prove irresistible." - Weekend Australian"An excellent, excoriating and long-overdue account of Mawson's 1911-1914 Antarctic expedition. Time for the truth…Mawson is completely defrosted by David Day. Bravo." - Sunday Mail
