They did it after weeks of exposure to the thin and bitterly cold air of Everest ... after one of their group was crushed under a falling ice wall ... and in the teeth of howling winds and snowstorms. Success came first on May 1, when two men gained the summit via the South Col route. This was followed three weeks later by an even more extraordinary feat: four more men made the peak - two by the South Col route and two via the West Ridge, which had never been negotiated before. AMERICANS ON EVEREST is an incredibly vivid account of their victories, a great adventure story." Former library book as mentioned. Library stamps on end paper and other pages in book. Some edge wear to front and back covers. More wear to bottom of front and back covers than top (view pictures). No major markings/soiling to interior pages.
