520    "A sixty-year saga of frostbite and fake news that follows
       the no-holds-barred battle between two legendary explorers
       to reach the North Pole, and the newspapers which stopped 
       at nothing to get-and sell-the story. In the fall of 1909,
       a pair of bitter contests captured the world's attention. 
       The American explorers Robert Peary and Frederick Cook 
       both claimed to have discovered the North Pole, sparking a
       vicious feud that was unprecedented in international 
       scientific and geographic circles. At the same time, the 
       rivalry between two powerful New York City newspapers-the 
       storied Herald and the ascendant Times-fanned the flames 
       of the so-called polar controversy, as each paper 
       financially and reputationally committed itself to an 
       opposing explorer and fought desperately to defend him. 
       The Herald was owned and edited by James Gordon Bennett, 
       Jr., an eccentric playboy whose nose for news was matched 
       only by his appetite for debauchery and champagne. The 
       Times was published by Adolph Ochs, son of Jewish 
       immigrants, who'd improbably rescued the paper from 
       extinction and turned it into an emerging powerhouse. The 
       battle between Cook and Peary would have enormous 
       consequences for both newspapers, and help to determine 
       the future of corporate media. BATTLE OF INK AND ICE 
       presents a frank portrayal of Arctic explorers, brave men 
       who both inspired and divided the public. It also sketches
       a vivid portrait of the newspapers that funded, promoted, 
       narrated, and often distorted their exploits. It recounts 
       a sixty-year saga of frostbite and fake news, one that 
       culminates with an unjustly overlooked chapter in the 
       origin story of the modern New York Times. By turns tragic
       and absurd, BATTLE OF INK AND ICE brims with contemporary 
       relevance, touching as it does on themes of class, 
       celebrity, the ever-quickening news cycle, and the 
       benefits and pitfalls of an increasingly interconnected 
       world. Above all, perhaps, its cast of characters 
       testifies-colorfully and compellingly-to the ongoing role 
       of personality and publicity in American cultural life as 
       the Gilded Age gave way to the twentieth century-the 
       American century"--|cProvided by publisher.
