1989 Illustrated. Hard cover 1989. Hodder & Stoughton. First. Book: Near Fine. Dj: Near Fine. 9.5x6.5. 395pp. Illustrated with 10 maps, diagrams and b/w photographs. The discovery of the North Pole by Commander Robert E. Peary was an event which awoke the patriotic pride of America in 1909. When Wally Herbert opened Peary's log to this discovery he was surprised to find blank pages. He was shocked by Peary's slack navigation, no observations on longitude, speeds and distances. This is a compelling portrait of this flawed but remarkable polar explorer which peels away the myth of Peary to expose the tragedy of that myth-the far more human hero.
