"I hope The Long Walk will remain as a memorial to all those who live and die for freedom, and for all those who for many reasons could not speak for themselves."--Slavomir Rawicz In 1941, the author and six other fellow prisoners escaped a Soviet labor camp in Yakutsk--a camp where enduring hunger, cold, untended wounds, untreated illnesses, and avoiding daily executions were everyday feats. Their march--over thousands of miles by foot--out of Siberia, through China, the Gobi Desert, Tibet, and over the Himalayas to British India is a remarkable statement about man's desire to be free. While the original book sold hundreds of thousands of copies, this updated paperback version includes a new Afterword by the author, as well as the author's Foreword to the Polish book. Written in a hauntingly detailed, no holds barred way, the new edition of The Long Walk is destined to outrank its classic status and guaranteed to forever stay in the reader's mind. *** Six-time Academy Award-nominee Peter Weir (Master and Commander, The Truman Show, and The Dead Poets Society) recently directed The Way Back, a much-anticipated film based on The Long Walk. Starring Colin Farrell, Jim Sturgess, and Ed Harris, it is due for release in 2011.

I have given this book as gifts and lent it out many times. it is really a great book of a great man told very humbly. I think it is the kind of book that makes you hope when all hope is gone.

Wonderful Book
I would recommend this book as required reading for young people, because it is truly inspiring, much better than the movie.

A Fantastic True Story.
I LOVE this book. Truth is always stranger than fiction. I had read it twice in the past and now my husband requested it for his birthday present. It is simply unbelievable to read all the trials that this man had to endure. It shows the unending strength of the human spirit. It makes one ashamed to think of one's own meagre complaints. It is a book that simply SHOULD be read.

A Historical Documentation
Chinese troops were in Tibet in 1941 and these escapees were told about them as they entered Tibet and kept out of their way.
It documents meeting the Yettie and the death of a prisoners trying to go around them in the mountains.
This is a book like no other. It documents ill advised ideas carried out at great cost. In the end ... some made the walk from a Russian Siberian Death work camp to India and the British Army who saved them. It tells of them hoarding bread under their pillows in the hospital after being rescued and their thirty day stabilization ... to start thinking normally after a trip that should have killed all of them.
