I to carry terrible dreams to this day of what I knew then..and still "know"..things I can't speak of, things that torment my dreams like Slav...I finished this book because it's true..Misery does love Company and old military who served in the Hot and Cold War also like Slav indentured the worst pain of all-time pain the kind about lost friends you can't even speak about because very few understand what keeping it all inside means and why the world over for men will serve their countries -knowing it may kill them or their friends. It's.because so few of us Can or Will serve that when we find comrades in arms as Slav did, we couldn't go on without them and yet when we "must" leave we do so with heavy hearts for lost family. I understand Slav so well though I was not physically tortured but in my post military career in the administrative arm of medical research I met Poles from the Gestapo's torture camps who told me...so this Book was a Memory and a Memorial to those who never came home and I cried when it ended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiring memoir *by L***U on Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2016* I liked this book. It is a heart-felt memoir of an escape from a WW II Soviet labor camp and a year-long trek from northeastern Siberia to India. Inspiring and adventurous. What I particularly enjoyed were the descriptions of the kindness that the local people throughout Siberia, Tibet, and the in the Gobi bestowed on these trekkers, who had minimal food and equipment. If they hadn't received help from the locals, they would not have survived. The descriptions of the geography were also engaging. My only criticism of the book was that some parts strained credibility. I'm not saying the story is apocryphal, but perhaps the recounting from memory missed some important details. For example, in describing their crossing of the Gobi desert, Rawicz says they sometimes walked as much as eight days without water. This is hard to believe. Walking three days in most desert environments without water is almost always fatal. Nevertheless, a good read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A compelling read *by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2019* This survival story is almost beyond belief, and the writing is wonderful - I often paused to reconsider sentences that were beautifully constructed. The overarching question here, though, is how much of the story is true? And there appears to be a lot of controversy about that. Some of the author's own descriptions cannot possibly be true, such as walking across a blazing Gobi desert and having no water for over a week. Or how about walking across Siberia in winter, with animal-skin footwear, and then across the Himalayas in winter - and no mention of frostbite in any of the party? So, some of this book is fiction. How much is open to debate. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4447110-long-walk-the-true-story-of-a-trek-to-freedom](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/4447110-long-walk-the-true-story-of-a-trek-to-freedom) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
