I've just added to my list (http://www.summitpost.org/best-mountain ... ure/257435) two books published in 2010 on the events of August 2, 2008 when 11 climbers lost their lives on K2.

One is entitled No Way Down, by Graham Bowley (a non-climber) and the other is One Mountain Thousand Summits by Freddie Wilkinson (who is a climber). Both accounts seem very well researched including interviews with survivors.

I have read both and each were excellent.
