Description
Clemens Forell, a German soldier, was sentenced to 25 years of forced labour in a Siberian lead mine after World War II. Rebelling against the brutality of the camp, Forell staged a daring escape enduring an 8000-mile journey across the trackless wastes of Siberia, in some of the most treacherous and inhospitable conditions on earth. Bauer's writing evokes Forell's desperation in the prison camp, and his struggle for survival and terror of recapture as he makes his way towards the Persian frontier and freedom.
