Louis' skills had been honed in the SAS, on operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, but now—in the most hostile environment on earth—they would be tested like never before. Alone on the ice, Louis battled through whiteouts, 50 mph gales and temperatures of -30 degrees Celsius. It would take all his mental strength to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this gripping book, Louis reveals how a thirst for adventure saw him join the Royal Marines at sixteen and then pass the SAS selection course at only twenty-two. He describes his first gruelling polar expedition with legendary explorer Lieutenant Colonel Henry Worsley in 2011, and the leadership challenges he faced a few years later when he led a team of Army Reservists across Antarctica. And he takes us with him step by painful step as he pushes himself to the limit, travelling alone in 2018 on his epic and lonely trek across the continent's treacherous ice fields and mountains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith edge-of-the-seat storytelling, \u003cem\u003eEndurance\u003c\/em\u003e is an awe-inspiring account of courage and resilience by a remarkable man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Macmillan Publishers New Zealand Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48241176707308,"sku":"9781529031768","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781529031768-endurance-1.jpg?v=1787935548"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/louis-rudd.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
