Ten days passed with no rescue attempt; the bodies were never recovered. And, for reasons that have remained cloudy, there was no proper official investigation. This book begins as a classic tale of men against nature, gambling--and losing--on one of the world's starkest and stormiest peaks. In lives lost, it was then history's third-worst mountaineering disaster--but elements of finger-pointing, incompetence, and coverup make this disaster unlike any other. Author Tabor draws on previously untapped sources, and consults not only mountaineers but also experts in disciplines including meteorology, forensics, and psychology. What results is the first full account of the tragedy that ended a golden age in mountaineering.--From publisher description.
