The Mountain World by Allen and Unwin

“In 1953 two further 8000-m. peaks were conquered: Everest, the “English mountain”, probably almost 8900m. (12,195 ft.) high, though its officially accepted height is 8840m. (29,002 ft.), and Nanga Parbat, the “German mountain” (8125m., 26,650 ft.). Their history in climbing terms is long and both peaks have claimed many victims.”
