ISBN10: 0340412763, ISBN13: 9780340412763, [publisher: Hodder & Stoughton] Hardcover First UK edition. Pages toned, jacket faintly rubbed. 1989 Hard Cover. Who was the first man to stand on top of the world? Most polar historians grant that honor to Robert E. Peary, who, after a long and brilliant polar career, allegedly reached the North Pole on April t, 1909. Long debated, but never proven or disproven, Peary's ultimate achievement seemed destined to remain forever an enigma unenlightened by first-hand information. The Noose of Laurels changes that. Here, Wally Herbert, one of the finest polar explorers of our time, takes on the task of analyzing Peary's achievements. He is uniquely capable to do so, as he is the first polar traveler ever to assess the records and claims of Peary and his chief rival, Dr. Frederick Cook.

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.
