HAYES, J. Gordon. The Conquest of the South Pole. London, Thornton Butterworth, 1936.
8vo. Original cloth, lettered in gilt; pp. 318; photographic plates, charts and diagrams to text; a very clean and fresh copy withdrawn from the library of the British Antarctic Survey (stamps to title).
Reprinted from the first edition of 1932 for the Keystone Library. A history of Antarctic exploration from Shackleton's 1907 expedition to Mawson's 1929 expedition, partly based on conversations with original expedition members. Hayes' work usefully supplements The Siege of the South Pole by Hugh Robert Mill, who indeed supplies a Preface to the present work.
