In the Ghost Country: A Lifetime Spent on the Edge
By Peter Hillary and John E. Elder

Free Press, (368p) ISBN 0-7432-4369-2

“What an extraordinary book! Compelling and refreshingly honest. A beautifully written, at times haunting and highly evocative story of what it is like to endure some of the harshest environments on earth. A truly remarkable piece of writing.”

Terry D. Garcia, Executive VP, National Geographic Society

“This miserable journey makes a terrific book... the result is moving and
insightful, scraping away the hubris of the adventure-book genre to examine the
forces that propel explorers through godforsaken places.”
