	Long Walk in ZhurnalWiki
		The Long Walk (1956, with Ronald Downing) by Slavomir Rawicz (1915-2004) is presented as the "true story" of a 4,000 mile trek in 1941-42: an escape from a Siberian prison camp in the USSR, southward across frozen wastelands, the Gobi Desert, and the Himalayan Mountains to reach India.
		Many of the author's claims are hard to believe: survival for long periods of time with no water, extreme ice-cliff climbing without equipment or training, and the purported observation of Yeti-like creatures.
		Nonetheless, The Long Walk is reasonably well-written and at times quite inspirational.
