Burke does some things which get his party killed. He and Wills could have been saved by a few other people who let them down, sure, and the author is very careful to point out every one of these opportunities lost, but in Chapter 12, you can see Burke kill his men by accident.
Not wanting to give spoilers, but King is the only one with a drop of sense: when the midden hits the windmill he's the only one with a strategy that works.

Excellent readings of a contemporary work on the famous ill-fated expedition. First-hand accounts and the conclusions of subsequent investigations show both the exceptionally brave as well as the all-too-human side of the explorers.
