In this magisterial work of history and adventure, based on more than a decade of prodigious research in British, Canadian, and European archives, and months in the field in Nepal and Tibet, Wade Davis vividly re-creates British climbers’ epic attempts to scale Mount Everest in the early 1920s. With new access to letters and diaries, Davis recounts the heroic efforts of George Mallory and his fellow climbers to conquer the mountain in the face of treacherous terrain and furious weather.

Captivating, surprisingly poignant, (sometimes overly) thorough story.

Very well written. The thesis, how society and the Great War had influenced the psyche of these men to take on these expeditions sometimes to a reckless degree, was really interesting and well executed. I loved learned about each of their personal histories, their personal and spiritual journeys in Tibet, and how each of them approached this most extreme goal. It gets a little dry when the author goes into the minutiae of what they took with them and their itineraries. But I’m not sure that’s unavoidable. Overall, would highly recommend the book and the narrator was excellent.
