At the beginning of this century only the Poles remained unexplored. They were magnets for great adventuring and scientific spirits, men like Richard Byrd. 
By 1934 Byrd was already famous. He had commanded the first Arctic transpolar flight and led several expeditions to Antarctica. His next project was to set up a weather station close to the South Pole and, with a staff of three, remain there through the six-month winter. 
In the event, Byrd elected a solo mission. The story of the half year he spent in frozen and black isolation is a remarkable testament to his courage, his resilience and tenacity.

TarcherPerigee

When Admiral Richard E. Byrd set out on his second Antarctic expedition in 1934, he was already an international hero for having piloted the first flights over the North and South Poles. His plan for this latest adventure was to spend six months alone near the bottom of the world, gathering weather data and indulging his desire "to taste peace and quiet long enough to know how good they really are." But early on things went terribly wrong. Isolated in the pervasive polar night with no hope of release until spring, Byrd began suffering inexplicable symptoms of mental and physical illness. By the time he discovered that carbon monoxide from a defective stovepipe was poisoning him, Byrd was already engaged in a monumental struggle to save his life and preserve his sanity.When "Alone" was first published in 1938, it became an enormous bestseller. This edition keeps alive Byrd's unforgettable narrative for new generations of readers.
