Description
Jan Morris's account of the 1953 Everest expedition is a fascinating tale of adventure and journalism.
In 1953, Jan Morris broke the news that a British-led team had conquered Mount Everest just hours before Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. This remarkable story was one of the biggest scoops of Fleet Street at the time, and it marked a turning point in the history of mountaineering expeditions.
This book offers an intimate and detailed account of the expedition, drawing on Morris's own experiences as well as his research into the events leading up to the climb. With its unique blend of history, adventure, and journalism, Coronation Everest is a compelling read for anyone interested in the world of mountaineering or the golden age of British journalism.
