Title: Powerful life lessons
Product review: Anyone who buys this book will be interested in the main theme - the unbelievable trek made by the group of escaped prisonors, but there is plenty more on which to reflect.The book opens with the author's arrest and brutal interrogation. During this phase he survives by sheer will power and in the knowledge of his innocense. But later when he and fellow prisoners escape, a subtle change begins. More and more as hardships and tragedies take their toll, it is the bond of the group that keeps them going. I won't reveal the closing lines of the book but they highlight that value as well.As we journey through life, most of us are surprised when we experience suffering or injustice. The bitterness of such experiences can harden some into cynicism and drive others to despair. But the underlying message I found in this book is that we are not supposed to, and indeed cannot, make the journey alone. In caring for the survival and welfare of others, we ourselves survive and are cared for.
