The endeavour has roots in colonialism now there are concerns as well for the environmental damage climbing does to the region. He also gives some insight into what Everest signifies within the climbing community. He explains what brings them each to Everest, and why. Krakauer turns his journalistic lens on himself and his fellow climbers. ![]() The first half of the book is a travelogue. He, like the rest of the expedition party, is a climbing fanatic – and of this mountain in particular. ![]() ![]() Krakauer thinks he’s won the lottery when he gets a shot at climbing Everest for a magazine feature. Like Into the Wild, Krakauer’s documentary-style written account of the disappearance of Chris McCandless, this is a detailed reconstruction of events that really happened. And given how things turned out on this particular climb in 1996, it’s a haunting combination of memoir and memorial. It shines a light on the obsession that drives climbers of all abilities. The beautiful, remote world he describes in Into Thin Air is vivid and compelling. When journalist Jon Krakauer joins a guided Everest climb, he has no inkling of the tragedy that lies ahead. Into Thin Air – Jon Krakauer’s eye-witness account of the 1996 Everest disaster – reveals the dark legacy of the world’s highest mountain. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "I don't think one can survive without the other and I don't think Claire will leave him at all.

Yes it is reasonable to expect they passed all of them. For example your family Doctor - You should expect at a minimum that they have gone to Medical School, Residency, and completed a Board Exam. Every “Professional” should have certain training and guidelines. A History book should stand up to fact checking and peer review and have a talented editor. I though for an Academic Historian - objectivity, attention to detail, and a gift for writing, even if limited, were prerequisites. Like Fake or Blatantly Biased News is destroying Journalistic integrity, Fake History or Blatantly Biased History is an equally big problem. I was surprised to find that historians are in crisis (or at least some are). A book on writing history - boring right? Nope, even this book was a page turner. From my armchair I have observed some Historians can write about topics I had little or no interest before starting and keep me up all night, while others, even when writing on my favorite topics can put me to sleep in a page or two. ![]() I am in awe of Evans after reading his Trilogy on the Third Reich.
