"The Long Walk"

Really cool book written by Slavomir Rawicz. He was a polish man captured by soviets on the eve of ww2. He and a few others escaped Siberia and walked all the way to India to escape. Very cool story and worth the read. They made a movie about it called "The Way Back" but never saw it so I have no idea how accurate it is. One interesting part of the story was when the group was crossing the Himalayas and saw two tall, dark, hairy figures twice the size of men. They were sort of nervous to to go near them so they went around. He points out that years later when the whole Bigfoot/Yeti thing came about, it made him wonder about those creatures they had seen that day. Thought that was kind of interesting. So for you history and military buffs, ever read this book?
