A year later, he and six comrades from various countries escaped from a labor camp in Yakutsk and made their way, on foot, thousands of miles south to British India, where Rawicz reenlisted in the Polish army and fought against the Germans. <i>The Long Walk</i> recounts that adventure, which is surely one of the most curious treks in history. Since its publication the story has come under some criticism as being invented rather than factually true. 1019008 1997 The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom total:1614|5:796|4:557|3:217|2:35|1:8| 1614 6942 2271 487 4 5 false false Wed Jul 02 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 23 22:04:39 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 22:30:31 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 4 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 14:24:59 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 24 14:37:34 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 2 false false Sat Mar 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 31 07:45:52 -0800 2008 Wed Apr 02 12:22:59 -0700 2008
