Info: The vision was clear: a trading route across the top of the world, a shipping lane north of America to the fabulous riches of Cathay. The way was unknown, unmapped, and its defences were formidable. But for centuries men were to argue, to search, to suffer and to die in the attempt to trace this route, that was known only as an idea, a mythology, a potent name: The North West Passage.
George Malcolm Thomson tells the story of that search, from the birth of the idea to the final unexpected triumph. Encompassing five centuries, that links immortal names - Cabot, Frobisher, Hudson, Ross, Champlain, Franklin, Parry, Amundsen - in a saga of unequalled endurance.
George Malcolm Thomson (18991996) was a Scottish journalist and publicist for Scottish nationalism. He is now best known for the sectarian slant he adopted the 1930s, aimed at Irish-Scots, and as an activist working on behalf of the Scottish Party.
