It wasn't always like this though. Once Everest was remote and inaccessible, a mysterious place, where only the bravest and most heroic dared to tread. The first attempt on Everest in 1922 by George Leigh Mallory and a British team is an extraordinary story full of controversy, drama and incident, populated by a set of larger than life characters straight out of Boys Own and Indiana Jones. The expedition ended in tragedy when, on their third bid for the top, Mallory's party was hit by an avalanche that left seven men dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEverest 1953:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the morning of 2 June 1953, the day of Queen Elizabeth’s coronation, the first news broke that Everest had finally been conquered. Drawing on first-hand interviews and unprecedented access to archives, this is a ground-breaking new account of that extraordinary first ascent. Revealing that what has gone down in history as a supremely well-planned expedition was actually beset by crisis and controversy, Everest 1953 recounts a bygone age of self-sacrifice and heroism, using letters and personal diaries to reveal the immense stress and heartache the climbers often hid from their fellow team members.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTitle\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMick Conefrey Collection 2 Books Set Everest 1922, Everest 1953\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDelivery \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eReviews \u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mick Conefrey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46796575801594,"sku":"PLD21430","price":99.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0338\/4872\/1545\/files\/61XFias3ikL.jpg?v=1730123374","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookbundle.com\/products\/mick-conefrey-collection-2-books-set-everest-1922-everest-1953","provider":"The Book Bundle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
