Freedom Climbers is the multi award-winning book by Bernadette
McDonald, now available in the UK and Ireland thanks to Vertebrate
Publishing. Freedom Climbers tells the story of the extraordinary
Polish adventurers who emerged from under the blanket of oppression
following the Second World War to become the world's leading
Himalayan climbers. Although they lived in a war-ravaged landscape,
with seemingly no hope of creating a meaningful life, these
curious, motivated and skilled mountaineers built their own
free-market economy under the very noses of their Communist bosses
and climbed their way to liberation. At a time when Polish citizens
were locked behind the Iron Curtain, these intrepid explorers found
a way to travel the world in search of extreme adventure - to
Alaska, South America and Europe, but mostly to the highest and
most inspiring mountains of the world. To this end, Afghanistan,
India, Pakistan and Nepal became their second homes as they evolved
into the toughest Himalayan climbers the world has ever known. In
her most engaging book to date, renowned and award-winning author
Bernadette McDonald weaves a passionate and literary tale of
adventure, politics, suffering, death and - ultimately -
inspiration.
