The Long Walk was ghost-written by Ronald Downing based on conversations with Rawicz. It was released in the UK in 1956 and has sold over half a million copies worldwide and has been translated into 25 languages.[1] The film, The Way Back, directed by Peter Weir was based on the book and released in late 2010.[4]
Over the years, critics of the book's accuracy have included Peter Fleming (the brother of Ian Fleming), Eric Shipton and Hugh E. Richardson, a British diplomat stationed in Lhasa.[5http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C5%82awomir_Rawicz#The_Long_Walk
