And all those who sought to test themselves against that famously dangerous terrain had been directly affected by the First World War, whether they had been veterans of the trenches or civilians raised in its aftermath. Both England and Germany saw Himalayan climbing as a route to national renewal--a sentiment reinforced in Germany by the arrival of the Nazi regime, which encouraged reckless risk-taking for state glory. The attempts, chronicled here, to realize famous climber Sir George Mallory's dream of summitting Everest involve some of the most dramatic stories, poignant tragedies, and fascinating characters in mountaineering history. Recounting these perilous expeditions allows us to explore what motives pushed the climber to attempt the impossible and their contrasting attitudes to risk, leadership, and climbing style. Including striking archival photographs, \u003ci\u003eChasing Mallory's Dream\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping narrative of Himalayan climbing during the years between the First and Second World Wars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Morgan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1851246614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781851246618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bodleian Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Edward Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49001244492031,"sku":"9781851246618","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chasing-mallorys-dream-edward-morgan-9781851246618","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
