Try reading, after reading Krakaeur's account, the account written by Anatoli Boukerev (it's called "Climb", IIRC), the Russian guide who Krakaeur blames for some of what happened on the mountain. It is is very instructive to read the accounts of the other survivors - Krakaeur's account is the most widely circulated because of his skill as a writer, but it is not neccessarily the truth.
