Crean: The Extraordinary Life Of An Irish Hero Kindle Edition

Great book about an often overlooked (yet very important) Early Antartica Explorer

Beautifully written book

Like many of my generation I was familiar with the tragic but heroic exploits of Scott and his companions, yet unaware of the unbelievable achievements of Tom Crean.A fascinating, gentle, unassuming old-school hero himself, Crean deserves more recognition than he has received thus far. His country would do well to put his name on the world map.

This is the definitive account of Tom Crean's life.This is a most welcome biography of the great Polar Explorer who's story deserves to be told and heard by all people today.The author captures the enigmatic qualities of Tom Crean and this is a book to be treasured.This a story which encapsulates what it really means to be a Hero. Buy this book today you will love it.

Clearly the man was a hero but there is a great lack of detail as he was not an officer and not much is documented. The author let his passion for the subject get in the way of research although he did find out some details.

Interesting tale. Very human. Good cause. Not a story I'd come across. I should like to have known Tom Crean. This story will interest anyone interested in Scott, Shackleton, polar exploration and tales of courage and daring.

A great addition to the Crean biographies out there . Highly recommended for those who have great admiration for this tough as nails Irishman.
