Recensione:

'There is something ...in this liturgical devotion to verse and rubric...that leads one on devoutly to the end; and the end is magnificent...Nobody could fail to read this book without being moved by its conclusion...It was the best of adventures, after all.' --James Morris, The Times

'David Robertson has given us an admiringly balanced account of the man behind the legend...The chapters dealing with the Everest expeditions are of particular interest for their insight into some human aspects of the venture, naturally excluded from official accounts.' --Eric Shipton, Geographical Magazine
