Surviving Denali: A Study of Accidents on Mount McKinley 1910-1982 by Jonathan Waterman
This book is a survey of accidents on Mount McKinley. The writing is clear, and all the accidents are summarized in charts at the ends of the chapters. It covers various types of accidents, explaining what went wrong and why. It's somewhat morbidly fascinating to read about all the things that can and have gone wrong on the mountain, from poor planning, freak accidents, lack of judgment, bad equipment, bad weather and just plain bad luck. It includes some basic hints for safe climbing. A quick and interesting read.
