Authors Rochelle Pennington and Nicholas Pennington traveled to the countries of England and Scotland to research the epic adventure of Sir Ernest Shackleton's "Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition," a true account of human strife and triumph. The story has inspired generations over the past century and has provoked management studies in leadership and motivational principles at Harvard University and corporations across America. Journal entries penned by crew members who served on board the ship Endurance pay tribute to the unique and effective leadership style Shackleton used to safely deliver every one of his men from nearly two years of disaster and perils in the frozen world of Antarctica where danger threatened life, limb, and sanity. The story lives on today as an extraordinary example of perseverance against all odds, and Shackleton's "invincible optimism" is permanently bound to the success of the story. The survival of the expedition's crew has become a timeless model showing that ordinary people can dive head-first into immense adversity and emerge victorious.
