A Review of "Discovery" by Admiral Richard E. Byrd

A review of Admiral Richard E. Byrd's book, "Discovery."

Discovery, although a magnificent story of the physical side of enduring the cold and isolation over a long period of time in an unexplored part of the world, is more so a work about men, who, when confronted by this unknown, can and did work together to achieve a common goal: general exploration.

​Additionally, this is the strongest of reads about an apolitical man of honesty and integrity. Admiral Richard E. Byrd was a great American pioneer and explorer with a great sense of humor and one seemingly overriding trait we see all too little of today: humility.

In this day of meandering, oversized, and not-very-opaque political egomaniacs … this was a most refreshing read. ​It is a non-fiction story of the greatest kind that restored my faith in man.
