I like that "Endurance" looks at individual experience as well as leadership as well as the larger adventure. Is it too idyllic though? Not every adventure has a good leader or an honest (or living) crew to resort to for details. You say you don't really care if the facts are true but wouldn't message be less meaningful if it was an entirely fabricated adventure with a loving crew and a fearless leader? I think we can never totally escape questioning the facts which, in turn, affect the message we receive. I am in definite agreement though, I really like "Endurance" and the way it captures a variety of perspectives into one cohesive narrative.
