Another one of those Bonington money making schemes, an enormous 'boys own' style book on a range of topics, resembling a huge school project. I bought this for the passage on Broad Peak. I had been led to believe it would give me some insight into the tragedy of Hermann Buhl's death. An interesting read, but I am no further ahead. I wonder about this 400 plus page epic - it's not exactly the thing you would take to read on a bus, but with so much text it can't exactly be described as a coffee table book. Interesting how many editions this book went into, it certainly sold well. Also interesting to note that the Broad Peak chapter was dropped in later editions - too controversial!!!
