Book Launch: The Race to the Top of the World with Peter FitzSimons

Join us for a special Author Talk with Peter FitzSimons as he discusses his new book, The Race to the Top of the World.

In this gripping new work, FitzSimons brings to life the extraordinary story of the race to conquer Mount Everest, following pioneering explorers George Mallory and Edmund Hillary, along with the remarkable figures who shared their journeys — including Tenzing Norgay, Andrew Irvine and Australian climber George Finch, whose groundbreaking work with supplementary oxygen helped push mountaineers to ever greater heights.

Exploring the courage, ambition and determination behind these legendary expeditions, FitzSimons reveals the years of planning and preparation, the dangers faced on the mountain, and the enduring mystery surrounding Mallory’s disappearance.

A compelling story of adventure, daring, tragedy and triumph — and the remarkable people who risked everything to reach the top of the world.
