And Death Walks with Them cover

This book throws light on the uncelebrated lives of some of Pakistan's High-altitude Porters (HAPs), who help mountaineers climb the Pakistan-based high mountain peaks. The book primarily discusses the lives and careers of those HAPs who have summited Pakistan-based eight-thousand-metre peaks. The author has attempted to delve into their lives by digging out adventure and drama in their stories, which makes her work a significant contribution on the literature available on this topic. This book will be the first to record the names of the porters alongside those of the more wealthy climbers who hired them.
