Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory and the Conquest of Everest by Wade Davis

5.0

Fascinating account of the 3 summit attempts by Mallory and others from 1921 to 1924. This is a thoroughly historic account with the context of WWI lead up, how the local scene of Tibet, Nepal, and India was relevant to the expeditions, and back stories of each of the main characters. I especially appreciated the maps provided in the book to follow the route of each of the three expeditions.
