South With Scott
This is probably the most common book on Scott's expeditions.
Evans was Scott's second-in-command and all was not well between
them. Both Scott's diaries and Evan's own account do not develop
this. Evans returned to England before the bodies of the polar
party was discovered. His version of events may initially seem
to be first hand accounts but this is not the case. His prolific
output satisfied a public demand for more information about
the Antarctic at the time. The man who went on to become a war
hero and rise through the ranks of the Navy was a publishes
dream. His books now are rather dry reading and lack the juicier
details of the personalities involved.
