I actually read the book he wrote.

I realize that there is only so much corroboration that can be done and that the Russians have been dicks about it, but I thought it was a good book. I've travelled quite a bit in that part of the world and while that reality is far from what I experienced in the 2000s, it was still really interesting to read about how they survived. Highly recommend it.

Sounds like "The Long Walk"

also "As Far as My Feet Will Carry Me"

FYI: There's another book with the same title. I love first-person non fiction like this. I read it a few years ago, and was enthralled.


I haven't read Stephen King's book, but you guys make it sound tempting.

I haven't but I will. Check out The Long Walk. https://www.amazon.com/Long-Walk-Story-Freedom-Tie/dp/1599219751

There are a number of true life adventure stories, especially about escapes from Russia, that are well worth the read. I have read most of these and they are amazing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/buy/thankyou/handlers/display.html?ie=UTF8&asins=1633230473&isRefresh=1&orderId=113-2199401-5946649&purchaseId=106-0134021-8976259&viewId=ThankYouCart

In about 1908 my grandfather and his brother drove from Boston across the States, the the Philippines, Japan, China, Russia and on to Europe. We have the picture album of it but unfortunately his hag of a second wife burned his diaries about the trip shortly after he died.
