The long walk : the true story of a trek to freedom
(Book)

"In 1941, the author and six fellow prisoners escaped a Soviet labor camp in Yakutsk--a camp where enduring hunger, cold, untended wounds, and untreated illnesses and avoiding daily executions were everyday feats. Their march over thousands of miles by foot--out of Siberia and through China, the Gobi Desert, and Tibet, and over the Himalayas to British India--was a remarkable journey through some of the most inhospitable conditions on the face of the earth." -- Page [4] cover.
