Title: this book is fiction...nothing about it is true.
Product review: The story in this book is just that: a story. There is no record of anyone named Slavomir Rawicz existing before the post WWII era. Though he claimed to be a free polish veteran who was personally recommended by General Anders to be a pilot, his name cannot be found in a single record from that time. There are not even records of how or when he arrived in the UK let alone any trace of him in India. His "companions" on his journey have no records anywhere at all. Nobody has ever met any of them aside from Rawicz. Its not details like what happened in the Gobi thats questionable. Its everything about the person who called himself Salvomir Rawicz.Second, this book was not written by Slavomir Rawicz as he was barely literate in english when it was written. It was ghost written by a British Reporter named Ronald Dowling whose primary interest was Yeti sightings.
