520    Breaking fresh ground, this new and important biography of
       Sir Edmund Hillary stands apart from previous accounts of 
       this truly great New Zealander. The author, Michael Gill, 
       was a close friend of Edmund Hillary's for nearly 50 years,
       accompanying him on many expeditions, and becoming heavily
       involved in his Himalayan aid work. He was also granted 
       access by Sir Edmund's children to a large archive of 
       private papers and photos that were deposited in the 
       Auckland Museum after his death. Building on this 
       unpublished material, as well as his extensive personal 
       experience, Michael Gill has written an insightful and 
       illuminating biography. He describes the uncertainties of 
       the first 33 years of Edmund Hillary's life, as well as 
       the background to the first ascent of Mt Everest, a feat 
       that brought him instant worldwide fame. In addition, this
       biography reveals the pivotal and loving relationship he 
       had with his wife Louise, in part through their touching 
       letters to each other. Her importance to him during their 
       22 years of marriage only underlines the horror of her 
       death, along with that of their youngest daughter, in a 
       plane crash in 1975. Edmund Hillary eventually pulled out 
       of his subsequent depression to continue his life's work 
       building schools and hospitals in the Himalayas. 
       Affectionate, but scrupulously fair, Michael Gill has gone
       further than anyone before to reveal the humanity of this 
       remarkable man. Edmund Hillary's life was shaped by both 
       triumph and tragedy, and while he became famous through 
       his mountaineering achievements, it was his humility and 
       affection for the people of Nepal that became an equal 
       part of his enduring legacy.
