About the Author

Maurice Herzog is a French mountaineer and sports administrator, born on January 15, 1919 at Lyon, France. He was the first person to summit an 8,000-meter peak (Annapurna) in 1950. His accomplishment was surpassed only when Everest was summitted in 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
