Overview
A new release from the author of the national bestseller The Man Who Mapped the Arctic. This enthralling first-hand account tells readers what it's really like to climb Everest-and what happens when things go wrong.A doctor and climber, Peter Steele jumped at the offer to become chief medical officer for the 1971 International Everest Expedition. He didn't expect the series of disasters that included a near-epidemic, a walkout and a grisly death. Dr. Steele tells his story with daring honesty, giving an unparalleled insight into the challenging world of mountaineering."An intensely human book which leaves the ordinary reader with a much more vivid idea of what an attempt on Everest must be like ... The drama, tragedy and high adventure are all there, but taken almost casually in the doctor's long stride." -Daily Telegraph, U.K."Of the many books about Everest published during the past fifty years, Doctor on Everest is the only one to give the uninitiated the exact feeling of what it is like to be on one of these expeditions." -Sunday Times, U.K.
