| Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer |
In this book, author Jon Krakauer describes his experiences during the 1996 Everest disaster. The event has inspired other books and a 2015 movie. Notably, two popular expedition leaders (Rob Hall and Scott Fischer) perished during the weather event.
The book (hardcopy) can be purchased online for around $8 (before tax). I also found a Kindle version for $12. The book has a few (black and white) pictures.
