The Last Viking: The Life of Roald Amundsen
Well written and enjoyable, the book uses ample quotes from Amundsen to give readers a sense of the man. However, Bown adds nothing new to the information already in print. A great title for collections that don't own Amundsen's own books or previous biographies, this volume is recommended for readers high school-age and up who are interested in polar exploration.
