Empire of Ice and Stone by Buddy Levy is the story of two men and an ill-fated Artic expedition. History has had differing opinions on the decisions of these two men; this book offers a very clear opinion. The descriptions of the interactions among the crew are a case study in group behavior. For me, perhaps most fascinating of all are the book's descriptions of the Artic conditions with the ice itself is as much a character of this history as any human being.
