This book is impossible to read just once, I've read it so many times now. I guarantee you will feel right there with Slav and his companions on thier journey, you will feel the cold, hunger, fear and desparation as though it was happening to you.......an outstanding personal account of grim determination.

I first read this book 40 years ago. Since then I have worn out 2 copies and have recommended it to anyone who would listen.

This is a first hand account of Rawicz’s wrongful arrest under the Russians and his subsequent torture in the infamous Lubyanka prison. That he refused to bow to the pressure put on him gives us ...  Read the complete review
