An incredible book detailing the tragic events on Mt Everest in 1996. Much like Into Thin Air, this book is captivating, and I think an important book to read if you have any interest in Everest. Especially if you have read Into Thin Air. This book really brings meaning to the phrase "Beware the one handed applause". Boukreev was an absolute beast and a hero on the mountain. Very good book.
