Lost

By
Peter Firstbrook
After George Mallory's body
was discovered on Mount Everest speculation on how he and Irvine had
met their deaths and whether they had made it to the top or not. This
book recounts their biographies and like many other recent books attempts
to recreate their last hours. I found this book to be informative
and tasteful. At the tme of Mallory's remains being discovered many
publications ran stories and photographs that were exploitational,
yet this book remains respectful of its two subjects
