Endurance by Alfred Lansing and Shackleton by Ranulph Fiennes are two other very good reads on the great man. The AJP Taylor book looks interesting. I haven’t yet read him either.
I discovered your channel about two weeks ago, and I'm really enjoying it. I appreciate your humor and your thoughtful commentary on books. Personally, I've had enough of politics and cultural commentary-there are dozens of channels like that on UA-cam. While commentary on movies and similar topics is fine, there are already so many people doing that. Very few, however, offer intelligent and insightful thoughts on books. Just my perspective.
Do believe you have missed the point in your opening rant regarding the Asian (Pakistani / Muslim) rape gangs. The issue is it appears as if your government has turned their heads to rapes primarily because they are immigrants. The posts I have seen do not make their ethnicity the main issue however even the numbers you point out indicate that a disproportionate percentage of gang rapes are perpetrated by those of Asian decent compared to the percentage of the English population that is of Asian decent. Further it seems that calling them Asian rape gangs is further effort by the media and government to cover up their more accurate cultural demographic description.
There are disproportions everywhere amongst violent crime, sexual exploitation and other misuses of human liberty. But it’s PLAINER THAN A PIKESTAFF that the griftosphere on the Right are using it as their latest dog whistle. Evil foreigners taking advantage of young, beautiful white girls is a trope as old as time!

I'm pulled one way by one crowd and a second way by another crowd! My PR department is tearing its hair out!
Agree
I enjoy your sense of humour 😂👍

Bullshit.
