Letter Re: Survival Lessons from the Book "The Long Walk"
Jim,
One of your blog readers suggested the book "The Long Walk". Five
minutes Googling around will satisfy you that "The
Long Walk" is
pure fiction masquerading as fact. I like a good yarn, but only when such stories
are clearly labeled "fiction." Nobody but the British author who
made up this tall tale has ever met or interviewed or known anything about
the supposed Polish prisoners who he claims walked across the Gobi Desert
and the Himalayas with virtually no gear. There are many great true survival
stories, but unfortunately this is not one of them. - Matt
