The Assault on Mount Everest, 1922 tells the story of the 1922 British Mount Everest expedition; the first mountaineering expedition with the express aim of making a successful ascent of Mount Everest. The expedition was planned and financed by the Mount Everest Committee which appointed the ebullient Brigadier General C.G. Bruce to be its leader, who subsequently wrote this compelling account of the expedition. The book also provides us with riveting first-hand accounts of the three attempts on the mountain written by George Leigh-Mallory and Captain George Finch. Marked by tragedy when 7 Nepalese porters were swept to their death in an avalanche, it was also the first expedition that attempted to climb Everest using bottled oxygen, starting a controversy that endures to this day. This new Daredevil Books edition of The Assault on Mount Everest, 1922 is published to celebrate the centenary of the first attempt to conquer Everest. With over 40 photographs and illustrations, it features a specially commissioned foreword by Britain's greatest living mountaineer, Sir Chris Bonington, who knows at first hand the challenges and tragedy associated with this most unforgiving mountain.

"This failed expedition took place in 1933, 20 years before Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay achieved success. Hugh Ruttledge in 'Attack on Everest' (published 1935) describes in detail how the English team set out to climb with the great expectations. Oxygen was taken but not used because of the incorrect but lingering belief that it was of little benefit to a properly acclimated climber."--Book's Amazon page.
