Having read «Into Thin Air» by Jon Krakauer I felt it was necessary to understand Anatoli Boukreev‘s side of the story. I am so glad I did! Not only is it fascinating to read an account from the Mountain Madness perspective but the pieces of the story have now fallen into place in an entirely different way. I am sad it took me so many years to read this book. The Anatoli Boukreev perspective deserves to be heard.
