Items related to K2
In 1954, an Italian expedition climbed K2, the world's second highest mountain and arguably the most difficult of all the 8000m peaks. It was a cause for celebration in a war-torn country. But it was an ascent which was also to lead to recriminations, accusations of deceit, slanders, libels and court cases. This book presents its story.

About the Author:
Lino Lacedelli, born in 1925, is one of Italy’s most famous climbers, in large part because of his participation in the first ascent of K2, in 1954. Giovanni Cenacchi, born in 1964, is the author of several books, documentaries and magazine articles on climbing.
Review:
A worthwhile and gratifying read...In an age when climbing histories and whole periodicals are devoted to the lionization of top alpinists, Cenacchi's point that most climbing histories are mere chronologies illustrated with a few personal reflections thrown in is a good one. (Gripped)
