Non-Fiction History
In February 1959, a group of nine experienced hikers in the
Russian Ural Mountains died mysteriously on an elevation
known as Dead Mountain. Eerie aspects of the
incident—unexplained violent injuries, signs that they cut
open and fled the tent without proper clothing or shoes, a
strange final photograph taken by one of the hikers, and
elevated levels of radiation found on some of their
clothes—have led to decades of speculation over what really
happened. This gripping work of literary nonfiction delves
into the mystery through unprecedented access to the hikers'
own journals and photographs, rarely seen government
records, dozens of interviews, and the author's retracing of
the hikers' fateful journey in the Russian winter. A
fascinating portrait of the young hikers in the Soviet era,
and a skillful interweaving of the hikers narrative, the
investigators' efforts, and the author's investigations,
here for the first time is the real story of what happened
that night on Dead Mountain.
