Top 100 Sports Books of All Time, Sports Illustrated "Those who
have never seen the Himalayas, those who never care to risk an
assault, will know when they finish this book that they have been a
companion of greatness." -New York Times Book Review In 1950, when
no mountain taller than 8,000 meters had ever been climbed, Maurice
Herzog led an expedition of French climbers to the summit of an
8,075-meter (26,493-foot) Himalayan peak called Annapurna. But
unlike other climbs, the routes up Annapurna had never been
charted. Herzog and his team had to locate the mountain using crude
maps, pick out a single untried route, and go for the summit.
Annapurna is the unforgettable account of this heroic climb and of
its harrowing aftermath, including a nightmare descent of
frostbite, snow blindness, and near death. Herzog's masterful
narrative is one of the great mountain-adventure stories of all
time. This new edition-due for publication shortly before the
sixtieth anniversary of the Annapurna ascent on June 3, 2010-will
feature a new foreword by Conrad Anker.
