About the Author:
Frederick Albert Cook (1865-1940) was the first American to explore both Polar regions and the first to spend forced winters in the Antarctic (1897-99) and the Arctic (1907-09). Surgeon on Peary's North Greenland Expedition in 1891-92 and second in command of the Peary Relief Expedition in 1901. Was commander of two expeditions to Greenland and headed two expeditions to Alaska's Mt. McKinley. Honored by European geographical societies and the Arctic Club of America and knighted by the King of the Belgians.
Review:
"Cook must be considered an extraordinary personality in Polar history...he was a Bonaparte on the ice to his rival..." -- Jean Malaurie, author of "The Last Kings of Thule," explorer and director of the Centre de'Etrade Arctique
"Cook's descriptions of the Central Arctic are authenic..." -- Academician V. S . Koryakin, Polar historian of the Russian Academy of Sciences
"This book--in which Cook explained his accomplishment-- will no doubt rekindle the embers of the 90-year-old Cook-Peary controversy." -- Raimund Goerler, Archivist of the Byrd Polar Research Center and author of "To the Pole."
