THE LONG WALK

Subtitled ' The True Story of a Trek to Freedom' is a somewhat understated comment to what Slavomir Rawicz actually went through. After finally reaching his prison for the next '25' years he and friends embark on an escape. It takes him almost the equivalent distance as his trip from Moscow to Siberia.
Much of his recollection, is as he states, memorable because of their condition. It definitely is an extraordinary act of will completed only due to their group effort.
Well worth the read, especially if you think times are a bit tough lately.
What I got from this is that, to some, freedom, is well worth the effort. Any effort. At all times!
