5.0 out of 5 stars Work of truth
As a family member (hillbilly) I have first hand knowledge of Dr Hargorves kidnapping in Colombia. This book is just like it should be - a writing of first hand experience by a trained journalist who happened to be kidnapped and held for eleven months by Colombias narco-guerillas. Second to worrying about his family, he worried about finding scraps of paper and discarded...

2.0 out of 5 stars Not my favorite book
His overall story of captivity is good but the style of this books makes it hard to read and boring. It's written diary style and most entries are boring and repetitive. I understand many of his days in captivity were uneventful but to read every uneventful day does not make for a book that holds your attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Work of truth, November 14, 2010
This review is from: Long March to Freedom: The True Story of a Colombian Kidnapping (Paperback)
As a family member (hillbilly) I have first hand knowledge of Dr Hargorves kidnapping in Colombia. This book is just like it should be - a writing of first hand experience by a trained journalist who happened to be kidnapped and held for eleven months by Colombias narco-guerillas. Second to worrying about his family, he worried about finding scraps of paper and discarded pens/pencils, in order to record what was going on around him and inside him.
Since his release he has dedicated his time and energy to assisting other captives and their families. This is a farm boy from Texas who spend his life trying to improve the ability to feed the world.
