In 1996, eight climbers perished on Mount Everest in one of the deadliest disasters in mountaineering history. Journalist Jon Krakauer was there, reporting for Outside magazine. His book, Into Thin Air, became a bestseller and a classic of adventure literature.

Now, in Doom With a View, Krakauer returns to Everest to retrace the steps of those who died. He interviews survivors, examines the evidence, and pieces together the events that led to the tragedy.

Krakauer's account is both harrowing and deeply moving. He describes the climbers' struggles against the unforgiving elements, their desperate attempts to survive, and their ultimate fate. He also explores the ethical dilemmas that face climbers who venture into the death zone, where the line between survival and death is often blurred.

Doom With a View is a powerful and unforgettable book that will haunt readers long after they finish it. It is a story of courage, tragedy, and the indomitable human spirit.
