My husband read and loved this true story as a pre-teen and I have just read it as an adult. I feel that this is a "character building" book. All spoiled teenagers should read this. Reading books like these in our formative years are why my husband and I have a strong work ethic, a sense of personal responsibility and gratitude for our American abundance. There is No preaching, no morals, just a darn fine story told about kidnap, life in a forced labor coal mining camp (Oh, the horror) and escape to freedom.
I keep wondering what happend to all those fine, helpful people this guy met on his arduous journey to freedom and what ever happened to them. Very tight, clean prose that reminds me Hemingway. No hysterical whining or philosophies. Just the facts and boy do they make you think. It's something boys would like to read, but I, as a grown woman loved it. I read it yesterday cover to cover and cried, gagged and then laughed hysterically at the end.

A man never dies...
Jacques came and spoke to our 7th grade class back in 1974 in New Jersey. We had the assignment of reading his book. I found the book very interesting and actually hard to believe in parts. (I was very young!) The day he came and spoke I've always remembered. To meet the man that told his very serious story was really something to me. He was a gentleman and that he took the time to talk to our class left a postive mark. Thanks again Jacques!

Highly Recommended
A beautifully written and extremely moving book about the author's escape from a Russian labor camp during Stalin's regime. Without bitterness, Sandulescu recounts his day-to-day existence of cold, hunger and back-breaking toil, and brings to life the friends and characters he lives with. His eventual escape was possible not only through his sheer physical strength and almost superhuman will to survive, but through the generosity of strangers he encounters along the way.
