Le 29 mai 1953, pour la première fois dans l'histoire des hommes, l?alpiniste Edmund Hillary et le sherpa Tenzig Norgay atteignent le sommet de l'Everest. Cette victoire, les deux héros la partagent avec les membres de l'expédition britannique à laquelle ils sont associés. John Hunt, alpiniste chevronné et militaire anglais, dirigeait cette expédition victorieuse. Dans Victoire sur l'Everest, il relate avec brio et talent les préparatifs et les détails de l'ascension audacieuse, dangereuse et exaltante qui mena son équipe vers le sommet. Cet ouvrage de référence, rédigé dans un style riche et vivant, est un magnifique récit d'aventure humaine et sportive.

Hunt was an officer in the British and Indian armies in the 1930s, during which time he was able to undertake several climbing expeditions in the Himalaya.

Following WWII (during which time Hunt served with considerable distinction, being awarded a DSO and being made a CBE before the war's end) Hunt's leadership skills, mountaineering background and knowledge of the Himalaya led to his selection as leader of the 1953 British Everest expedition.

Following the success of the Everest expedition Hunt was knighted, and some years later was made a life peer, being gazetted as Baron Hunt.
