Synopsis: Spangled with praise and prizes, Into the Silence is a majestic epic of literature, history and hope. While the quest for Everest may have begun as a grand and imperial gesture, it ended as a mission of revival for a country and a lost generation bled white by war. Davis's intrepid history of Mallory asks not whether he was.
From Publisher:
In this work of history and adventure Wade Davis asks not whether George Mallory was the first to reach the summit of Everest, but rather why he kept on climbing on that fateful day. His answer lies in a single phrase uttered by one of the survivors as they retreated from the mountain: 'The price of life is death'.Product Info
