The following updated information was kindly provided by @Christian-s5c on April 28, 2025: ============================================= Herzog didn't have any monopoly, and there is no official story. The contract only applied to the expedition's book and was a request of the publisher (Arthaud), who paid 3 million francs for it. However, the climbers were entirely free to share their story in the press, through interviews, or at conferences. Here's a chronology of the different accounts : August 1950 : Marcel Ichac in ''Le Figaro'' December 1950 : Lionel Terray in ''Alpinisme'' January 1951: the same in ''Le Monde'' February: start of the conferences given by all the members all around the world Spring 1951 : Louis Lachenal in ''Berg der Welte'' (a Swiss revue) December 1951: Maurice Herzog's ''Annapurna first 8000'' (the expedition's book). I don't even mention the numerous interviews or smaller accounts (e.g., Marcel Schatz, Dr. Oudot). As you can see, Herzog didn't have a monopoly on the story; he was actually the last to speak. And the book isn't his version, but a compilation of what all the other climbers told him over the course of one and a half years. For example, the book's most famous chapter, which describes the terrible descent, is a simple copy-and-paste of Terray's December 1950 narrative. ============================================= I want to thank @Christian-s5c one more time for correcting a mistake I made in the "Closing Chapter" due to missing information.
