Book excerpt: "It was 1896 when Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd and Marie Ames met. They were 8-years-old; she from Boston, MA, and he from Winchester, VA. Even at 8-years-old, the future Admiral was a dreamer and risk-taker, with a rascally nature and adventuresome spirit... Richard was the first to fly over the North and South Poles. He organized and ran the 1st and 2nd Antarctic scientific expeditions in 1928 and 1933... He then went on to do secret missions during WWII for the navy and much more. Marie and Richard remained firmly united as they courted, married, raised children, and lived through umpteen scares and adventures. Marie exhibited more courage than one could imagine due to his many risk-taking exploits. Still, no matter, the love letters between them are extraordinarily romantic and link them to historical events known to the public and international events not known..."--Back cover.

Book excerpt: In the age of adventure, when dirigibles coasted through the air and vast swaths of the Earth remained untouched and unseen by man, one pack of relentless explorers competed in the race of a lifetime: to be the first aviator to fly over the North Pole. What inspired their dangerous fascination? For some, it was the romantic theory about a “lost world,” a hidden continent in the Arctic Ocean. Others were seduced by new aviation technology, which they strove to push to its ultimate limit. The story of their quest is breathtaking and inspiring; the heroes are still a matter of debate. It was the 1920s. The main players in this high stakes game were Richard Byrd, a dashing Navy officer and early aviation pioneer; and Roald Amundsen, a Viking in the sky, bitter rival of Byrd’s and a hardened veteran of polar expeditions. Each man was determined to be the first aviator to fly over the North Pole, despite brutal weather conditions, financial disasters, world wars, and their own personal demons. Byrd and Amundsen’s epic struggle for air primacy ended in a Homeric episode, in which one man had to fly to the rescue of his downed nemesis, and left behind an enduring mystery: who was the first man to fly over the North Pole? Race to the Top of the World: Richard Byrd and the First Flight to the North Pole is a fast-paced, larger-than-life adventure story from Sheldon Bart, the only historian with unprecedented access to Richard Byrd’s personal archives. With powerful, never-before-seen evidence of the race to pioneer one of Earth’s last true frontiers, Race to the Top of the World is a story of a day when men were heroes and the wild was untamed.
