About This Item
Lincolnwood (Chiago), IL: Contemporary Books, 1999. First Edition, First Printing . Soft cover. Near Fine/None as Issued. Archival Photographs. Text/NEW & Bright. Softcover/Fine w/trace shelfwear. First Edition, First Printing. PO label to title page. On June 24, 1924, George Mallory (1886-1924) & Andrew Irvine (1902-1924) were enveloped by a snow squall and not seen again. There was the lingering wonder whether the twosome were on their way down from the summit (which would rank them first among climbers), or caught some 800 feet short. In 1999, 75 years later, BBC Film producer Peter Firstbrook conducted a search. Volume gives a history of the Mallory/Irvine expedition along with a gripping account of his own trek --- an adventure of past & present. 224 pgs w/maps & b/w photos in 10 chapters, followed by appendices.
