In 2012, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was clinging to power in a vicious civil war. When intelligence revealed that the dictator might resort to using chemical weapons, Pres. Obama warned that doing so would cross “a red line”. Assad did it anyway, killing hundreds of civilians and forcing Obama to decide if he would mire America in another unpopular war. When Russia offered to broker the removal of Syria’s chemical weapons, Obama leapt at the out. So begins an electrifying race to find, remove, and destroy 1,300 tons of chemical weapons in the midst of a raging civil war.

Exciting, sobering, informative-a must read
Revisado: 05-07-17
John Krakauer combines his first-person perspective with comprehensive narratives of those he was climbing with. He clearly did his homework and delivered a respectful but honest account of what happened on the doomed 1996 expedition. By the end you'll fully understand the danger of attempting to summit Everest even for the most accomplished of climbers. The narration is first class complete with accents depending on the person being quoted. Highly recommend this book for anyone who loves adventure nonfiction.
