White Battleground The Conquest Of The Arctic

By Edward F Dolan

White Battleground: The Conquest of the Arctic recounts the thrilling and often perilous history of Arctic exploration. From the earliest Norse voyages to the daring expeditions of the 19th and 20th centuries, Edward F. Dolan, Jr. captures the indomitable spirit of the men and women who ventured into the frozen north. The book chronicles the relentless pursuit of knowledge, resources, and national prestige that drove explorers to face unimaginable hardships, including treacherous ice, extreme cold, and isolation.

Through gripping accounts of daring rescues and tragic failures, White Battleground reveals the human drama behind the conquest of the Arctic and its enduring impact on our understanding of the planet.
