Descripción de contraportada

"Arctic Labyrinth may well be the definitive work in the whole course of Arctic discovery and the particular chimera that killed so many men--the Northwest Passage."--Robert C. Ritchie, author of Captain Kidd and the War Against the Pirates

Praise for Glyn Williams's The Prize of All the Oceans

"Remarkable ... never was there a tale which joined such horror and pity, disaster and triumph, such fortitude in adversity. Glyn Williams's narrative brings out the drama of the story ... an admirable retelling of a tragic and heroic tale."--The Times Literary Supplement

"A quite remarkably erudite and deeply informed book."--Daily Telegraph

Praise for Glyn Williams's Voyages of Delusion

"The fruits of Williams' research over the past four decades are seen in the new material he presents [and] in the richness of detail and nuances of character that be brings out."--New York Times Book Review

"Readers, of course, can comfortably sail off into reverie without facing any of these perils."--Booklist
