The Moth and the Mountain: A True Story of Love, War, and Everest

byEd Caesar

In The Moth and the Mountain, Ed Caesar presents a biographical portrait centered on a True Story of Love, War, and Everest. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and sports & recreation. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
