Crean was awarded the Albert Medal for his bravery in saving the life of his dying colleague by walking 35 miles in Antarctic storms to bring about his safe rescue. This is just one instance of three separately documented accounts of this remarkable man’s heroism in the most inhospitable environment on our planet. The book also delves deeper into the sufferings, hardships of this unassuming hero before he joined the Royal Navy and after his retirement back home to Ireland. New information and facts that came to light during the research for this book make it a refreshingly new account into the life of the man known in the polar fraternity as the 'Irish Giant.'
