Book Review of Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster

Into Thin Air: A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster
Melita avatar reviewed on + 6 more book reviews


This book gave a good first hand account of the events on Everest in 1996 when there were so many deaths including those of two prominent Everest guides. But you MUST read the account of the Russin guide Anatoli Boukreev in his book "The Climb". He is the true hero of this disaster.
