| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Conefrey reveals that what has gone down in history as a supremely well-planned ascent was in fact beset by crises – both on and off the mountain. To succeed, team leader Colonel John Hunt and his team had to draw on unimaginable skill and determination, as well as sheer British ingenuity. Not only a gripping true story of courage and adventure, this is a fascinating window into the media contest to cover this seminal event in coronation year. The Times had exclusive access to the teambut the Daily Mail and other papers used subterfuge and shenanigans to get their scoops. Revealing the answers to long-enduring controversies – did Tenzing or Hillary actually reach the top first? – and exploring the legacy of this great ascent, it is the perfect way to commemorate a year of British sporting triumph. |
