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

5.0

An excellent read. - the story of the 3 British Everest expeditions of the early 20s. Lots of fine detail about the people (all survivors of the War), the politics (Britain, Tibet, Nepal and China), the geography (unknown to them until the first expedition), the weather (unpredictable) and the climbing (mostly without oxygen at first). Fascinating reading.
