The shocking true story behind the discovery of the North Pole that sets the record straight on the adventurous life and controversial accomplishments of an intrepid explorer.
Abramson’s riveting biography also details Cook’s earlier heroic adventures—as a member of the expedition to Antarctica and of his own conquering of Mt. McKinley in Alaska.
Following Cook’s triumph, Hero in Disgrace relentlessly tracks the efforts of this powerful cartel that backed Peary and his expedition, then set about systematically destroying Cook’s reputation so Peary’s claim could stand uncontested. So effective was their campaign that Cook was driven into prison, financial ruin, and public disgrace, yet never once did he renounce the claim to his discovery.
To this day, however, both Cook’s character and his epic accomplishments have been obscured under clouds of doubt and misunderstanding. With this book Abramson dispels those clouds and retrieves the true hero from disgrace.
