Hardcover. Second Ed, Revised & Enlarged. Good+: Shows moderate use. Binding shows very slight spine lean; light wear to extremities; lower corner tips starting to rub through; eighth-inch closed tear at the head of the backstrip; former owner's name at front free endpaper. Binding remains secure; text clean. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 310pp. Additional Chapters by Heinrich Harrer and Kurt Maix. Translated from the German by Hugh Merrick. Second Ed, Revised & Enlarged. Hardback: Lacks DJ. is a great book involving the will of man and his determination to overcome obstacles. Over my life time, when I have thought that things were going rough, I have thought of this book and the story of these men. I highly recommend this book to all parents of teen age children. It will be well worth reading to all of you. Harrer's sensitivity toward the mountains that were his life and to his peers is unparalled. This sensitivity is intertwined throughout the book in not only his own first ascent of the face, but the subsequent successes and tragedies that occurred there. An incredible, heartfelt and wonderfully written book made even more fantastic when you can witness where it all took place. Yet the specific situation is less relevant than the more global significance of the lessons of commitment, loyalty and endurance.
