Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Tragedy of the Italia With the Rescuers to the Red Tent' is a gripping first-hand account of one of the most dramatic rescue missions in polar history. Following the crash of General Umberto Nobile's airship, the 'Italia', in the frozen wastes of the Arctic in 1928, an international effort was launched to find the survivors huddling in their makeshift shelter, the famous 'Red Tent.' Davide Giudici, an Italian journalist aboard the Soviet icebreaker 'Krassin', provides a vivid eyewitness perspective on the grueling journey through the polar ice to reach the stranded crew.The narrative captures the tension and heroism of the era's aviation and exploration, detailing the immense logistical challenges and the harsh environmental conditions faced by the rescuers. Giudici offers a unique look at the collaboration between nations during the search, highlighting the pivotal role of the 'Krassin' and its crew in the successful recovery of the survivors. This work stands as a significant historical document of the heroic age of Arctic exploration, blending journalistic precision with the high stakes of a life-or-death race against time.
