Reviews
"A magnificent book that deserves to become the definitive version. We cannot hope for a more human, funny or meticulous account of what was a very British expedition." Independent "Conefrey describes this frenetic scramble for ownership of the mountain brilliantly - a tale of great courage.' Observer "An exciting, moving account - a fascinating piece of documentary writing, as readable and poignant as Into Thin Air or Touching the Void." Spectator
’I really enjoyed Everest 1953… it’s fascinating and the people in it come over as real flesh and blood human beings… very readable… one of those books that might keep you up until three in the morning because you want to know what happens next’
