In elegant, concise language, it tells the compelling story of not one but two of the great hoaxes of all time. The story of the two men who falsely claimed to have reached the North Pole is one of mendacity and gullibility|.com |The North Pole is a desolate place.

Within five days of each other, both Frederick Cook and Robert Peary claimed to have gotten there first.
