Subtitled: 1996: Everest\u2019s Worst Disaster The Untold True Story <\/p>\n
This new book takes a fresh look at the tragic events that took place on
\nEverest in May 1996. The author, himself on Everest that day sheltering on the
\nSouth Col, survived the deadly storm and for more than ten years has wondered
\nwhether he and his teammates could have done something to save lives on that
\nfateful night. <\/p>\n
On the night of 10-11 May 1996, eight climbers perished in what remains the
\nworst disaster in Everest’s history. Following the tragedy, numerous accounts
\nwere published, with Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air becoming an international
\nbestseller. But has the whole story been told?<\/p>\n
A Day to Die For reveals for the first time the full, startling facts that led
\nto the tragedy. Graham Ratcliffe, the first British climber to reach the
\nsummit of Mount Everest twice, was a first-hand witness, having spent the
\nnight on Everest’s South Col at 26,000 ft, sheltering from the deadly storm.
\nFor years, he has shouldered a burden of guilt, feeling that he and his
\nteammates could have saved lives that fateful night. His quest for answers has
\nled to discoveries so important to an understanding of the disaster that he
\nnow questions why these facts were not made public sooner. History is dotted
\nwith highprofile disasters that both horrify and capture the attention of the
\npublic, but very rarely is our view of them revised to such devastating
\neffect.
