The Assault on Mount Everest, 1922 by Brigadier-General C. G. Bruce provides a detailed, firsthand account of the second British expedition to attempt the summit of the world’s highest peak. As the expedition leader, Bruce chronicles the logistical challenges, the rigorous high-altitude climbing conditions, and the pioneering spirit of the team as they pushed toward unexplored terrain. The narrative documents the group's progress, the use of supplemental oxygen, and the historic achievements of George Mallory, Howard Somervell, and Edward Norton, who reached record-breaking altitudes during the ascent. This historical record serves as an essential primary source for understanding the early twentieth-century pursuit of mountaineering and the human endurance required to confront the challenges of the Himalayas.
