Climber, author and film director Graham Hoyland was the 15th Briton to climb Everest and during one of his nine expeditions to the mountain was responsible for the discovery of George Mallory’s body. He writes for the Independent newspaper and worked as a BBC director on programmes such as Dragons’ Den, the Today programme and Around the World in 80 Faiths.

‘You have never read a book like Last Hours on Everest … Graham Hoyland has created a towering work full of twists and turns, like the backdrop’ Independent

1. 5/5

   Intressant bok om Mallory och Irvine och deras försök att bestiga toppen 1924 samt författarens egen bestigning av Mount Everest. Boken blir extra intressant då författaren hade en släkting, Howard Somervell, som var med 1924 på Mallorys expedition. Läsvärd!
