I got this book through paperbackswap.com. I think I had added it to my wish list after seeing it on someone's recommended reads. It was well written and researched and was a pretty quick read. It was astounding that the Italian government did virtually nothing to rescue General Nobile, the Italian in charge of the expedition, and his crew after the crash. The Italian government also treated Nobile terribly after the rescue and did its best to discredit him.
