Giles Milton: Empire At The Edge Of The World
One mans obsession with empire sent fifteen people into the Arctic but only one
would return.
Join bestselling historian Giles Miltonas he reveals the sweeping (and often
stranger than fiction) account of a 1913 expedition to Wrangel Island in the Siberian Arctic. Driven by ambition and geopolitical fantasy, Vilhjalmur Stefanssons plan to claim a frozen outpost in Britains name spirals into catastrophe.
A story of survival and imperial hubris in the far north - where, as recent years have
reminded us, the struggle for influence has never really gone away.
