This ghost-written story follows Ronald Downing, a Polish man arrested, tortured, and sentenced to 25 years in a Serbian work camp. He leads an escape from the Gulag, and he and his companions walk over 4,000 miles to India. From walking across the Gobi dessert to crossing the Himalayas, from sudden deaths to unexpected hospitality, this book is full of human-moments in the midst of tragedy and despair. It is heart-wrenching and depressingly-hopeful.
