Detailed Product Description

UK, 1991, 1st edition. 286 pp, ills, maps. Colonel Andrew Croft, D.S.O, O.B.E, typifies the traditional hero that is every schoolboy's inspiration. Arctic explorer, soldier, pioneer, world record holder and medal winner. At sixteen it was already clear that his spirit and qualities of leadership were outstanding, but it was not until 1933 when he joined the Trans-Greenland Expedition that his fascination with polar exploration began.

The expedition was to gain him an entry into the Guiness Book of Records for the longest self-supported dog sledge journey. He subsequently took part in expeditions to North East Land, Swedish Lapland and the Canadian Arctic. His military career was equally remarkable, serving in the Russo-Finnish War and in Norway, leading covert operations from Corsica to Italy and France, and working with French Resistance groups behind enemy lines. Hardcover, DJ, as New.
