Tahan's analysis is an exceptional approach because it turns the attention away from a perception of Amundsen as 'the man who beat Scott'. ... Readers who are interested in the history of canines in the Antarctic will find this book more than satisfying. ... The views and perceptions of Amundsen and other expedition members that Tahan depicts are revealing about the whole operation and will excite scholars in social sciences as well as psychologists. (Ursula Rack, The Polar Journal, October 16, 2019)
