Everest How it happened

Begining with the 1921 attempt on the summit of Everest through to the
disasters of the 1990s, this work features 30 white-knuckle accounts of
climbing endeavour on the world’s highest mountain, with all the tragedy and
triumph of humankind’s striving for the top of the world, by those who know
the Death Zone best – the climbers of Everest themselves. Yet this is more
than a cherry-picking of great true and exhilarating memoirs of Everest.
Included are the history of the conquest of Everest, and all the natural and
cruel beauty of Chomolungma The Mother Goddess of the World.
