This mountaineering classic recounts the 1943 episode of three escaped
Italian prisoners of war attempting to reach the summit of Mount Kenya.
Felice Benuzzi recounts one of the most bizarre and daring
adventures of the twentieth century. In 1943, Benuzzi and
two fellow prisoners escaped from a British camp in equatorial
East Africa with one goal, to climb the seventeen-thousand-foot
Mount Kenya, Africa's second tallest mountain. Filled with suspense
and humor, it is an extraordinary story that has earned its place
as a masterpiece.
