Amazon description: A bank of clouds was assembling on the not-so-distant horizon, but journalist-mountaineer Jon Krakauer, standing on the summit of Mt. Everest, saw nothing that "suggested that a murderous storm was bearing down." He was wrong. The storm, which claimed five lives and left countless more--including Krakauer's--in guilt-ridden disarray, would also provide the impetus for Into Thin Air, Krakauer's epic account of the May 1996 disaster.
My thoughts I would recommend this book to anyone, even those without a specific interest in the topic . I thought it was excellent, though I admit to being fascinated by Mount Everest as a general statement. (Read "The Climb" by Anatoli Boukarev for a different account of the same tragedy.)
