"In 1909 the North Pole was an explorer's prize of enormous magnitude, "A PRIZE NEVER TO BE RE-WON, NEVER TO BE SURPASSED." Thus when a mild-mannered physician and explorer named Frederick A. Cook and an imperious naval commander named Robert E. Peary emerged from the Arctic within five days of each other, each claiming to have been the first man to reach the Pole, the controversy spread worldwide. And Dr. Cook lost. He was declared a liar, a confidence man and a humbug, and, on the verge of a nervous breakdown, he fled the country. There things have remained--until Winner Lose All."
