Captain Scott

Sir Ranulph Fiennes is uniquely qualified to write a new biography of Captain Scott. This is the first biography of Scott by someone who has experienced the deprivations, the stress and the sheer physical pain that Scott lived through; he has suffered all but the final tragedy endured by the much maligned Scott. He is determined to put the record straight. As well as being the definitive biography of Scott, written with the full and exclusive cooperation of the Scott estate, this book traces the way that Scott`s reputation has been attacked and his achievements distorted.`A valuable corrective to the trend of Scott debunking ushered in by Roland Huntford… One by one, and with commendable attention to detail, Fiennes explodes the accumulated myths. The world will remember Scott and, to a lesser extent, Fiennes when the memory of the mean-spirited and misleading Huntford has long since melted away.` – Justin Marozzi, Sunday Telegraph.`Sir Ranulph Fiennes has done Captain Scott`s memory some service…he has certainly written a more dispassionate and balanced account than Huntford ever set out to do` – Simon Courtauld, Spectator.`He is uniquely qualified…because only someone who has “man-hauled” across Antarctica can know what went on. Fiennes`s own experiences certainly allow him to write vividly and with empathy of the hell that the men went through. He has valuable insights into the running of the Royal Geographical Society and the mounting of an expedition, and he does indeed right some wrongs.` – The Sunday Times.
