Until 1949 he edited a weekly newspaper in Illinois. He then joined the United Press and in 1952 became a freelance writer. Endurance was his first book. He died in 1975.
One of the most remarkable tales of human courage and
determination. The story is gripping and the book is a classic of
its kind

One of the greatest adventure stories of our time

A superb and very readable account of the greatest survival story
of all time

Lansing recounts these extraordinary events in pared-down prose . .

is beauty too, and moments of rare tranquility . . . [A] wonderful
book - a supreme example of maintaining a frozen-stiff upper
lip
*Sunday Telegraph*
One of the most harrowing survival stories of all time
*Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm*
Terrific
