Discover the real story behind one of Britain's greatest triumphs
Discover one of Britain's greatest triumphs, drawing on never-before-seen diaries and exclusive interviews
'An exciting, moving account a fascinating piece of documentary writing, as readable and poignant as Into Thin Air or Touching the Void.' SPECTATOR
On the morning of 2 June 1953, the day of Queen Elizabeth's coronation, the first news broke that Everest had finally been conquered. Drawing on first-hand interviews and unprecedented access to archives, this is a ground-breaking new account of that extraordinary first ascent. Revealing that what has gone down in history as a supremely well-planned expedition was actually beset by crisis and controversy, Everest 1953 recounts a bygone age of self-sacrifice and heroism, using letters and personal diaries to reveal the immense stress and heartache the climbers often hid from their fellow team members.
Charting how the ascent affected the original team in subsequent years and detailing its immense cultural impact today, Everest 1953 is the perfect book to commemorate this remarkable feat of the human will.
'A wonderful addition to the Everest literature… thoroughly researched and compelling.' Wade Davis, bestselling author of INTO THE SILENCE
