Hardback with dust jacket. The adventures of Frank Hurley have been brought to life by David Millar in his action-packed biography of one of Australia's most daring and important photographers. From Hurley's early life as a runaway schoolboy, Mr Millar takes us through his Antarctic expeditions with Sir Douglas Mawson and Sir Ernest Shackleton.
