Fatal Passage: The Story of John Rae, the Arctic Hero Time Forgot
reviewed on + 35 more book reviews


Enjoyed this book very much. It is true that John Rae is a forgotten hero of arctic exploration, and those who follow the early polar expeditions will find this book very informative. Would have been a "5" except for the heavy repeated bias in favor of John Rae, which is understandable, but not needed, as Rae's story speaks for itself. Good read!
