Charles Neider (1915-2001) edited Tolstoy: Tales of Courage and Conflict and Life As I Find It: A Treasury of Mark Twain Rarities, among many other books. Cooper Square Press has also published his fiction (The Grotto Berg: Two Novellas) and his recent memoir, Adam's Burden.
Absorbingly readable, informative, with moments of high suspense, both in Neider's personal adventures and in his historical retrospects.
— The Wall Street Journal
By far the most useful book about the Antarctic, a personal narrative but also a history… Charles Neider's big book can be read by boys who love adventure, naturalists who want to know about the hidden spectaculars at the south tip of the earth, casual readers who want a taste of everything there is down there in that mysterious, repellent, surrealistic world.
