Fallen Giants: A History of Himalayan Mountaineering from the Age of Empire to the Age of Extremes Book
The first successful ascent of Mount Everest in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa teammate Tenzing Norgay is a familiar saga but less well known are the tales of many other adventurers who also came to test their skills and courage against the world's highest and most dangerous mountains. In this lively and generously illustrated book historians Maurice Isserman and Stewart Weaver present the first comprehensive history of Himalayan mountaineering in fifty years. They offer detailed original accounts of the most significant climbs since the 1890s and they compellingly evoke the social and cultural worlds that gave rise to those expeditions.Read More
