Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Endurance by Alfred Lansing. Recommended by 25 sources.
“This reconstruction of Shackleton's doomed Antarctic expedition reads like a real-time logbook, immersing you in the men's daily struggle against ice, starvation, and despair. The value is unfiltered immediacy: you feel every moment of monotony and peril as they did. The limitation is its strict reliance on contemporaneous sources—it rarely steps back for analysis or emotional interiority, so depth comes from cumulative detail rather than introspection. If you want to know what they did, not necessarily how they felt inside, this delivers.”
