Norton & Company, 2005 The Truth, Mystery and Tragedy of Two Men There were no winners in this race, as expertly laid out by author Bruce Henderson. While the rival "sides" in this debate may never settle, it's tragic to read how two strong men ended their arctic adventures (and friendship) in such rancor and misery. In the end, there's so much confusion to it that history will probably never give either the "prize." One thing that caught me off guard was ...             Waiting4 reviews Bruce Henderson Plume, 1995 I was glad to know there were others like me!

As he seemed to be a very intelligent, forthright and plain speaking person, I believed him.
