I got this book assuming it would be a detailed accounting of what the title states. And looking at the table of contents you would assume it was. Part One: David Sharp and Part Two: Lincoln Hall and Thomas Weber. Since I am familiar with the history of Everest and this particular season I was looking for a much more detailed accounting of these climbers stories. But the writer felt it necessary to give a detailed history lesson of the discovery and attempts of climbing Everest and then a detailed review of modern commercial expeditions. David Sharps story doesn't even begin until like page 104.
So if you are not well read on Everest and the year these stories take place then I would recommend this book. But if you already know Mt Everest's history and are aware of how commercial expeditions operate I would say don't bother with this book.
