Publisher Description

Thomas Hargrove's Long March to Freedom, a record of his eleven months as a hostage of Colombian guerrillas, was the basis for the hit movie Proof of Life that starred Meg Ryan, Russell Crowe, and David Morse. While the movie invented a fictitious romantic angle, Long March to Freedom is the actual journal Hargrove kept in captivity. The listener gets a sense of the tension and intense emotions caused by bouts of monotony broken by sudden brutality, as well as the strength, wit, and personality through which Hargrove kept himself alive.

Overall Performance:
" I appreciate the story but it was long, repetitious (obviously because of the author's circumstances) and hard to get through at times. "

Overall Performance:
" ***+ True story of kidnapped American scientist fighting to survive and keep his sanity in Central America. The pace of the book and the descriptions bring to mind the sheer and total boredom on his life and his wrenching despair. "
