Lady Spy, Gentleman Explorer The double life of Herbert Dyce Murphy

fascinating account of a varied life that included a short time as a cross-dressing spy for British Military Intelligence pre-WW I, but the book's significance lies in the well-researched account of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition 1911-1914 led by Douglas Mawson and particularly of events at the Main Base. Extensive research of primary sources at the Mitchell Library, Sydney, and elsewhere gives the book authority.
