Description
The Assault on Mount Everest, 1922 is a gripping account of the first British expedition to conquer the world's highest mountain. In 1922, Brigadier General C.G. Bruce led an ambitious team in their quest for the summit, with George Leigh-Mallory and Captain George Finch providing firsthand insights into their perilous journey. The expedition was marked by tragedy when seven Nepalese porters lost their lives in a devastating avalanche. The team's use of bottled oxygen sparked controversy that continues to this day. This special centenary edition features over 40 photographs and illustrations, including a new foreword by renowned mountaineer Sir Chris Bonington. With its unique blend of adventure, tragedy, and pioneering spirit, The Assault on Mount Everest, 1922 is a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of mountaineering.
