Bestselling storyteller Peter FitzSimons explores the extraordinary true story behind The Race to the Top of the World, a gripping account of the quest to conquer Mount Everest. Drawing on the lives of legendary climbers George Mallory and Edmund Hillary, FitzSimons reveals a tale of ambition, courage, endurance and mystery that spans decades and stretches from the frozen slopes of Everest to one of history's greatest unanswered questions: did Mallory reach the summit before his disappearance in 1924?
Peter FitzSimons AM is Australia's bestselling non-fiction writer, and for the past 39 years has also been a journalist and columnist with the Sydney Morning Herald and the Sun-Herald.
He is the author of a number of highly successful books, including Breaker Morant, Burke and Wills, Monash's Masterpiece, Kokoda and The Courageous Life of Weary Dunlop, as well as biographies of such notable Australians as Sir Douglas Mawson, Nancy Wake and John Eales. His passion is to tell Australian stories, our own stories: of great men and women, of stirring events in our history.
