This is a book about war but it is not a war book. Shackleton can draw, and draw expresively, in lights and shades of humour and pathos. In his book he employs the kindly art of the cartoonist to bring out the real highlights of the campaign and to throw up the spirit of ordinary people tackling an extraordinary job.
