The story of the Welsh Himalayan expedition, organized by Sydney Wignall in 1955 to climb Tibet s highest mountain, Gurla Mandhata. To protect the lives of those involved, it was over 40 years before this riveting true story could be told. Wignall & 2 of his companions had been recruited by Indian intelligence to report on Chinese military operations in Tibet. The unlikely spies were captured & imprisoned by the Chinese Red Army. The Chinese released the 3 spies, & their trek to safety across a deadly Himalayan pass in the depth of winter is an amazing testament to the will to survive. B&W photos.
