"Shackleton's Boat Journey" by F. A. Worsley is a first hand account of the journey, written by the Captain of the Endurance.

No fluff in this book, it gets directly to the action. Worsley has a very direct writing style which is easy to read.

due to the seemingly incomplete ending of the book of job, many people suspect the original ending was too extreme and was omitted later. how extreme and in what direction has been debated for a long time.
