Labyrinth of Ice: The Triumphant and Tragic Greely Polar Expedition

byBuddy Levy

Focused on the Triumphant and Tragic Greely Polar Expedition, Labyrinth of Ice brings Buddy Levy's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The approach makes a specialized subject understandable without stripping away its tensions or ambiguity.
