Description
One of our publisher's favorites, The Long Walk is the astonishing true story of a trek to freedom. In the spring of 1941, Slavomir Rawicz, a 26-year-old Polish lieutenant, escaped from a Soviet labor camp in Siberia with six fellow prisoners, including one American. They spent a year walking over 4,000 miles of the most forbidding terrain on Earth. They braved the Himalayas, the desolate Siberian tundra, icy rivers, and the great Gobi Desert, always a hair's breadth from death. They had no map, no compass, only an ax head, a homemade knife, and a fierce determination to survive. Cyril Connoly of the London Times calls the story, "positively Homeric."
