Summary

Into Thin Air is the definitive account of the deadliest season in the history of Everest by acclaimed journalist and author Jon Krakauer. Krakauer examines what it is about Everest that has compelled so many people -- including himself -- to throw caution to the wind, ignore the concerns of loved ones, and willingly subject themselves to such risk, hardship, and expense. Written with emotional clarity and supported by his unimpeachable reporting, Krakauer's eyewitness account of what happened on the roof of the world is a singular achievement. -- Adapted from Amazon.com summary
