Could not put it down

Captain Oates is know for having got out of the tent to his death in order to give his friends a chance of survival. But Laurie Oates is so much more than that. Learn about his relation with his controlling mother, his brush with death in South Africa, how he viewed Captain Scott...It's all in there. I took 3 days to read the book, just coudn't put it down.
