About This Book
Jon Krakauer provides a first-hand account of the 1996 Mount Everest disaster, where a rogue storm claimed the lives of several climbers. The narrative examines the decisions made during the ill-fated expedition and the broader commercialization of high-altitude mountaineering. It explores themes of survival, human ambition, and the psychological impact of survivor's guilt.
