    Description 1st Edition: 399pp, illustrated. Original covers in unclipped dust wrapper which is in an archival sleeve. Appears unread. One of the least popular men on Shackleton's 1914 expedition (he expected to become the first victim of cannibalism if the group wasn't rescued!) Lee kept a fascinating diary. From the dust jacket introduction "One long nightmare from beginning to end, always short of food, frequently wet, living in the dirt and squalor, unwashed for months without a change of clothes....." He was in Shackleton's 1914 expedition on board Endurance and later, after rescue became the advocate of the parachute, "many pilots owe their lives to his faith in this new invention".
