Could not put it down; read until my eyes closed, and picked it up again as soon as they opened. Excellent writer and researcher who went well out of his way to create this and left absolutely no stone unturned. A brilliant work. Books like these inspire me to be a better editor.

Dead Mountain is a well-researched, and respectful book about the Dyatlov Pass incident that took the lives of nine young Russian university students in February of 1959. The mystery around the tragedy is an engrossing one that has been much sensationalized over the years. Film-maker Donnie Eichar cuts through the sensationalism to present a sober investigation into what really happened.At the height of the Cold War and Soviet Union power, ten students of the Ural Polytechnic Institute Hiking Club took off on an expedition to Otorten Mountain in the northern Urals. All were experienced winter hikers and mountaineers, especially their leader, Igor Dyatlov. When they failed to return after three weeks, a search was launched. The initial search party found their empty tent and no sign of the hikers. All indications were that the tent had been abandoned in panic. Then, after some weeks of searching, the bodies were found."Their bodies were eventually found roughly a mile away from their campsite, in separate locations, half-dressed in subzero temperatures. Some were found facedown in the snow; others in fetal position; and some in a ravine clutching one another. Nearly all were without their shoes." (p 23)One of their group, Yuri Yudin, had turned back, well before the tragedy occurred, due to a bout of pain from his chronic rheumatism, making him the only survivor.So what could have happened to drive these young people out into a dark night of howling winds in below-zero temperatures? That’s the mystery that has prompted horror stories about the incident and that drives the narrative of Dead Mountain.I have to admit that the mystery as outlined in the book blurbs grabbed my imagination. I had never heard of the incident and so wanted to know what it was all about, and why it was little known in the West. The book’s author, Donnie Eichar, is a director and producer of film work for MTV. He also became enamored with the story and determined to resolve the mystery. His research led him to literally retrace the hikers’ steps into the Urals in winter. He was the first American to do so.Mr. Eichar’s prose is well-written and keeps up the tension of the mystery as he takes us with him on his investigation. The narrative alternates between his research and the story of the hikers as recorded in their group diary and photographs. These photographs are readily found on the Internet and I referred to them often as I read Dead Mountain. Many of them are included in the book.Through the diary and photos the hikers are revealed as smart, well-adjusted young people with a love for life and the outdoors. Their last hike was to earn them a certification that would allow them to teach mountain hiking. So they knew what they were doing. There was one 37 year-old among the group, but the rest were all under 24. They were interested in two-way radios (the geek equivalent of personal computers for the time), hard science (they were engineering and physics majors), and the possibilities for love and romance (especially the two young women). The photos show a lot of college-student clowning and the diary indicates their excitement for their adventure. Accounts from the people that encountered them along their way are all positive as to their demeanor and attitudes.Tension builds as Mr. Eichar recounts the groups’ final expedition. He tells us enough of the hikers’ personal lives that we get to know them as individuals. We feel their youthful friendships, hopes, and concerns. We struggle with them as they work out the logistics of their trip, and feel the pathos in Yuri’s early parting with them, expecting to reunite in a week’s time.Tension also builds in the account of Mr. Eichar’s own journey to retrace the hikers’ steps and so gain clues as to what happened to them. He has to deal with a language barrier and his own journey logistics. Being from Florida, he has little experience of mountains and none of sub-zero cold. On top of all this, he makes a search for the lone surviving member of the Dyatlov group, Yuri Yudin.I found Dead Mountain to be engrossing and hard to put down. Mr. Eichar keeps his prose moving, interesting, and relevant. Internet photos enhance the book, but I found the autopsy photos disturbing. The driving force of the book, however, is the mystery: what happened to hikers? UFOs? Yeti? Bandits? All have been proposed as solutions. After examining all the evidence he could gather, Mr. Eichar comes up with his own idea about what happened.The last chapter of Dead Mountain is Mr. Eichar’s reconstruction of the events of the hikers’ last night. The scenario he describes is, in my opinion, probably very close to the truth.I think Dead Mountain is a good exercise in how to approach and to think about a stubborn mystery, especially one with paranormal overtones. It indicates the kind of open-minded work required to get to the bottom of things (whether you think Mr. Eichar did or not). In the end, it is a reminder of the tragedies in this world, and of nine promising young people who were taken out of it much too early.

By no means the definitive book on the Dyatlov Incident, so I'm not sure where all these 5-star reviews come from. Do yourself a favor and read the 3-4 other reviews by people who know what a well-researched book should look and sound like before you purchase.OVERALL: The book does a nice job humanizing the members of the group, however chapters are split between the Dyatlov group's trip, and the author's own trip back to Russia to research it. The author is very much the "star" of the narrative, and 50% of the book is the author's own journey in Russia, so be warned if that's not your thing!I didn't mind this at first... and found the first 60-70% of the book fairly well done (in the way a Reader’s Digest article about something fascinating can suck you in), but the author finishes his journey at the site of the tent...and that's about all the insight you are given into his personal experience. Did Eichar sleep on the mountain? No. Did he explore the location of the cedar tree and the ravine? We are left to assume no. Did he partake in any kind of scientific analysis or measurements of the area? Nope. So even the "personal narrative" aspect is unresolved. Not to mention Eichar rode a snowmobile to/from the location...not exactly similar to what the hikers experienced.THE THEORY (spoiler alert!...not that it matters, really): The book simply ends with Eichar putting forth his own theory about the cause of the hikers' demise: infrasound. And it comes across as so rushed and with such scant supporting evidence, you are left unconvinced and disappointed. We should believe this because a scientist in Colorado noticed that Kholat Syakhl has a dome-shape?The author does not provide even a single real-life instance in which similar mountain weather conditions have caused human beings to behave in this manner (i.e. being driven so "insane" by a vortex/infrasound they would cut through/abandon a tent, and walk a mile away from it barefoot in the snow), or ANY other real-life cases of a vortex + infrasound occurring in winter mountains. There is not a single interview with any individual who has first-hand experienced this phenomenon. There are also no interviews with area hikers to inquire if such a phenomenon has ever been experienced by any other local camping on Kholat Syakhl.THE LACK OF EVIDENCE:-no map or diagram of the area of the tent, the cedar tree, ravine, and positions of the bodies-no in-depth discussion, pictures, or diagrams of the footprints found in the snow (yet Eichar insists in his theory the hikers were split up into 3 groups and separated BEFORE reaching the tree line. What supports this? A discussion of the footprints, how they were found, logged, and photographed by the search team would have been critical.)-no autopsy photographs, diagrams, or comprehensive description of the injuries found on each hiker. I find this omission the most egregious. Eichar asks us the accept his version of events, without describing how it aligns with the specific injuries to each hiker (these photos are readily available online, so why the laziness in omitting a discussion of them?)-no photographs, detailed discussion, or first-hand accounts by search party members of the "ravine." What did it look like? Why does Eichar automatically assume that 3 of the hikers fell into the ravine when they had limited bruising/soft tissue damage? He presents no specific evidence yet states Kolya was being carried?-no mention or discussion of the "ice cave" made by the hikers and found at the ravine, in which wood had been gathered for a fire that had never been lit?SUMMARY: I began by thinking this was a fairly well researched book, and certainly Eichar has put in a some time to interview surviving family members as well as the expedition's "sole survivor," but make no mistake, this is a humanistic (essentially amateurish) account of this fascinating incident, and not a scholarly or scientific one.The book has no citations and no bibliography, and Eichar's quick summary at the end of what he thinks happened reads like lazy armchair detective work.This amazing story deserves a much better book.
