Description

The remarkable true story of John Rae's Arctic adventures. In 1854, Rae solved two great mysteries: the fate of the Franklin expedition and the location of the Northwest Passage's last navigable link. His discoveries were met with a campaign of denial and vilification in Victorian England. A remarkable tale of courage and determination, Fatal Passage is Ken McGoogan's passionate redemption of Rae's rightful place in history. This richly documented work captures the essence of one man's indomitable spirit, shedding new light on a pivotal moment in Arctic exploration. Through meticulous research and attention to detail, McGoogan brings Rae's story to life, offering a fresh perspective on this fascinating period in history.
