"The Assault on Mount Everest, 1922" by C. G. Bruce is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This book recounts the details of the British expedition that aimed to conquer Mount Everest, focusing not only on the climb itself but also on the extensive preparations and challenges encountered along the way. The narrative captures the tension of the ascent and the intricacies involved in navigating the highest peaks in the world, backed by the contributions of various expedition members. The opening of the book introduces the context of the expedition, including the work done during the previous year’s reconnaissance. General C. G. Bruce discusses the thorough planning that went into organizing the climbing team and the logistics involved, such as assembling a skilled group of climbers, recruiting local porters, and preparing all necessary equipment. The narrative sets the stage for the daunting challenges ahead, highlighting the urgency to reach the summit before the monsoon season while emphasizing the idea that success is not guaranteed on the first attempt, especially given the complexities of climbing Everest.
