In 1924, George Mallory and his companion Andrew Irvine disappeared
during a valiant bid to reach the world's highest summit. In May
1999 Mallory's body was found, partly resolving the riddle of
whether they succeeded in their bid, 29 years ahead of Hillary and
Tenzing. Peter and Leni Gillman assess the motives and goals of
this inspirational yet complex figure, whose life was dominated by
his two conflicting passions: his love for his wife Ruth, and
Everest - forbidding, unclimbed, 'the wildest dream', as he called
it. Drawing on family letters and helped by surviving members of
the family, Peter and Leni Gillman present a powerful and affecting
portrait of a man torn between competing desires, and the fatal
choice he ultimately made.
