OVER FIFTY PERCENT A MILLION COPIES SOLD!   The traditional adventure tale that influenced the new main movement picture The In The Past, led by Peter Weir   ***   “I wish The Long Walk will remain as a memorial to all those who live and die for liberty, and for all those who for several reasons couldn't talk for themselves.” —Slavomir Rawicz "The Long Walk is just a book that I absolutely couldn't pay and one that I'll always remember,"--Stephen Ambrose    "A poet with metal in his soul."--New York Times   "One of the very remarkable, brave tales of the or every other time."--Chicago Tribune   “A guide full of the nature of individual dignity and the bravery of guys seeking freedom.” —Los Angeles Times   “Heroism isn't the domain of the strong; it's the domain of individuals whose only other option would be to die… and quit. [The Long Walk] must certanly be read—and re-read, and passed along to friends.”—National Regional Journey   “The supreme individual stamina story…told with quality, vivid description, and a great splash of love and humor.”—The Vancouver Sun   "Basically it boils down to some kind of internal determination and that's what's so gripping about the guide since you understand that this is really about all of us.  It's not only some Polish bloke who desired to get home.  It's about how we all wrestle on each day.  Somehow or other we look for a reason to keep on going and it's the same here-but on an unbelievable level".--Benedict Allen, explorer and bestselling author of Into the Abyss and Edge of Blue Heaven   ***   In 1941, the author and six fellow prisoners of war escaped a Soviet labor camp in Yakutsk—a camp where suffering starvation, cold, untended wounds, and untreated ailments, and preventing daily executions were everyday feats. Their march—over a large number of kilometers by foot—out of Siberia, through China, the Gobi Desert, Tibet, and within the Himalayas to British India is just a remarkable statement about man’s wish to be free.
