A Different Look At The Early Everest Expeditions



I have just read the first 50 pages of this brilliant book. The author flips back and forth between climbing exploits and stories of climbers who gave the last full measure in World War I, to stories of those serene days in the hills at the dawn of a new century to the memorial services in those same hills after the war.
