In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette 

byHampton Sides

Hampton Sides uses In the Kingdom of Ice to investigate the Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette through a carefully framed historical account. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the wider field of history. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
