Abstract
IT would indeed be a strange personality which would not be stirred by this thrilling account, ending, alas, in tragedy, of the third expedition towards the summit of Mount Everest. The first in 1921 was in fact no more than a reconnaissance, the second in 1922 is described as “The assault,” while we may well hope that the 1924 volume now published under the title of the “Fight for Everest” will be itself succeeded by the final volume, the “Attainment.”
The Fight for Everest: 1924.
By Lieut. Col. E. F. Norton and other Members of the Expedition. Pp. xi + 372 + 32 plates + 2 maps. (London: Edward Arnold and Co., 1925.) 25s. net.
