Helpful Score: 1

A very thought provoking mystery involving nine experienced Russian hikers who never made it back alive. The mysterious way that these hikers died has led to decades of speculation and spawned several conspiracy theories. Donnie Eicher gains unprecedented access to the hikers journals, personal photographs and the official government files. He uses these sources to piece together what really happened on that mountain almost 60 years ago. The author does a good job of explaining all the theories and giving reasons why they are not plausible. The theory he comes up with makes a whole lot of sense and he does a great job in making his highly technical theory understandable to the average person.
