The Shackleton saga is particularly inspiring because Shackleton and his men all managed to survive through a show of extraordinary courage, immense skill, and for the most part common decency. Now that military valor is all the rage again, it's wonderful to be reminded of heroics that don't involve slaughtering other people.
