Throughout the 1930s, as international relations grew tense, the rival powers attempted to boost their prestige by sending teams to conquer the Himalayan peaks. This book recounts a contest that claimed the lives of the German Willy Merkl, the Briton Maurice Wilson, and other climbers, and only ended with Hillary and TenzingaEURs ascent of Everest in 1953.
