Publisher's Note
The author describes his spring 1996 trek to Mt. Everest, a disastrous expedition that claimed the lives of eight climbers, and explains why he survived.

Industry Reviews
"The author of three previous books..., he [Krakauer] has produced a narrative both meticulously researched and deftly constructed."
New York Times Book Review - Alastair Scott (05/18/1997)

"Though 'Into Thin Air' comes less than a year after that trip, it hasn't weakened Krakauer's reporting skills. He's scrupulously fair and honest about his co-climbers and guides. He records acts of selfishness and foolishness as well as acts of bravery, sometimes all from the same person. When the worst comes, it's from the recognizably human combination of honest mistakes, carelessness, refusal to consider the worst and sheer bad luck. And Krakauer confronts what may have been his own part in the deaths of some of those people with a tormented conscience. Krakauer writes indelibly, agonizingly, on the physical torment of existing, let alone exerting yourself, at high altitude. He's brilliant on the particular brand of masochistic asceticism that drives mountain climbers."
Taylor

"Krakauer is both a world-class mountaineer and arguably the best in the English language at writing about his deadly sport."
Skow

[Krakauer's] fascinating and troubling account of the climb, is no chronicle of triumph. He was in ragged physical shape. A wracking cough had torn loose chest cartilage; his body had burned away 20 lbs. of muscle mass; he was running out of bottled oxygen. But the deadliest element of his situation was one he barely noticed; innocent-looking clouds rising from valleys to the south. . . . Krakauer, a thoughtful man and a fine writer (his Into the Wild, a report of a wilderness death in Alaska, was one of the best nonfiction books of 1996), says the ratio of misery to pleasure on Everest was greater than on any other mountain he has climbed. He draws no ringing conclusions from the disaster, although he thinks that banning bottled oxygen might keep weaker climbers off the mountain. <BR>Annotation copyright H.W. Wilson Company.
Time - John Skow (04/21/1997)
