Have always enjoyed Peter FitzSimons books (like Batavia)and Mawson is no exception. A well written, engrossing read. Mawson was a "good goer, eh?"
Fitzsimons always writes a well researched, fascinating book. I just wish they were not so dull at times at the start.
Regardless, the books he writes are always informative and fascinating by the time you get well into them, and as always, I enjoy them truly by the time I get to the end.

okay I only read the second half (when it got interesting) because this is a monster of a book. but: wowzas. the perseverance and ambition of these explorers was next level
