Based on a True Story: Everest

by Dan LeFebvre

Based on a True Story is a series of books that aims to dive behind your favorite Hollywood blockbuster to learn what really happened. In this book, we'll learn the true story behind the movie Everest. At the time, in 1996, the events depicted in the film was the single most disastrous day on Mount Everest. Two of the survivors of that tale went on to write books about their experiences. Despite this, both Simon and William decided not to use those books as the basis of their movie. Instead, they authored a new story that was inspired by the events. This book is not associated with, nor is it a copy of either books--or of any other work. It is an original work that tells the true story of what happened so you can compare it with the movie. You can learn more about the series at
