"Shackleton's Boat Journey" by F. A. Worsley is a first hand account of the journey, written by the Captain of the Endurance.

No fluff in this book, it gets directly to the action. Worsley has a very direct writing style which is easy to read.

I concur, Worsley’s account of the voyage is excellent and highly worth reading.

Most definitely agreed; I read it many years ago as a youngster, and have never forgotten it.

For a different telling of the expedition more generally, Mrs Chippy's Last Expedition is worth a look:

seems to go by another title, "Endurance: an epic of polar adventure"
