Lost on Everest: The Search for Mallory & Irvine by Peter FirstbrookMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
While the focus is on the did-they-or-didn't-they summit attempt in 1924 of the duo, the book is the entire arc of Everest exploration from initial measurements in surveys of British India to footnote to the Great Game and Cold War rivalry with China that access and success became in this endeavor.
