THE LONG WALK is the astonishing story of a trek to freedom. In the spring of 1941, the author, a twenty-six-year-old Polish lieutenant, escaped from a Soviet labor camp in Siberia with six fellow prisoners, including one American. Joined by a remarkable girl, Kristina, who gave them hope and courage, this heroic group 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 fierce determination to survive.
Long out of print, this remarkable book is an immensely gripping story, a moving testament to man's ability to endure and win out over the cruelest odds. It is bound to find a new generation of avid readers in a time that needs to remember such heroes.
