Description

This text assesses the truthfulness of the book "Annapurna" by Maurice Herzog, who climbed the mountain in 1950 with Louis Lachenal. The author draws on many sources, including accounts from fellow climbers and interviews with Harzog himself, to provide a more realistic account of the events of the climb in 1950.
