George Mallory, thirty-seven, was Britains finest climber. Sandy Irvine was a twenty-two-year-old Oxford scholar with little previous mountaineering experience. Neither of them returned.Drawing on more than a decade of prodigious research, bestselling author and explorer Wade Davis vividly re-creates the heroic efforts of Mallory and his fellow climbers, setting their significant achievements in sweeping historical context: from Britains nineteen-century imperial ambitions to the war that shaped Mallorys generation. Theirs was a country broken, and the Everest expeditions emerged as a powerful symbol of national redemption and hope. In Daviss rich exploration, he creates a timeless portrait of these remarkable men and their extraordinary times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536442229024,"sku":"NEW0375708154","price":15.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81hQyTxYKIL.jpg?v=1777415836","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/into-the-silence-the-great-war-mallory-and-the-conquest-of-everest-0375708154","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
