I have given this book as gifts and lent it out many times. it is really a great book of a great man told very humbly. I think it is the kind of book that makes you hope when all hope is gone.

Wonderful Book
I would recommend this book as required reading for young people, because it is truly inspiring, much better than the movie.

A Fantastic True Story.
I LOVE this book. Truth is always stranger than fiction. I had read it twice in the past and now my husband requested it for his birthday present. It is simply unbelievable to read all the trials that this man had to endure. It shows the unending strength of the human spirit. It makes one ashamed to think of one's own meagre complaints. It is a book that simply SHOULD be read.

A Historical Documentation
Chinese troops were in Tibet in 1941 and these escapees were told about them as they entered Tibet and kept out of their way.
It documents meeting the Yettie and the death of a prisoners trying to go around them in the mountains.
This is a book like no other. It documents ill advised ideas carried out at great cost. In the end ... some made the walk from a Russian Siberian Death work camp to India and the British Army who saved them. It tells of them hoarding bread under their pillows in the hospital after being rescued and their thirty day stabilization ... to start thinking normally after a trip that should have killed all of them.
