Accepting an assignment from Outside magazine to investigate whether it was safe for wealthy amateur climbers to tackle Mount Everest, Jon Krakauer joined an expedition guided by New Zealander Rob Hall.  But Krakauer got more than he bargained for when on summit day a blinding snowstorm caught four groups on the mountain's peaks.  While Krakauer made it back to camp, eight others died, including Scott Fischer and Hall, two of the world's best mountaineers.  Devastated by the disaster, Krakauer has written this compelling and harrowing account as a cathartic act, hoping it "might purge Everst from [his] life."  But after finishing this raw, emotionally intense book, readers will be haunted, as Krakauer was, by the tragedy.
