“A heady blend of stinging wit, unflinching honesty, and headstrong badassery, The Expedition explores what happens when the laws of nature are placed above the illusory obligations of society. Jason Lewis recounts the first human-powered circumnavigation of the globe with both gritty realism and unexpected humor—and the result is both horrifying and enormously inspiring.”
