    Michael could be a squatch but is most likely a hybrid.

    The first book I read in HS was The Long Walk. It was a true story about several men who escaped a prison camp in Siberia. The only reason the book was written was because a British journalist heard that the men had come across a Yeti during their harrowing ordeal. The journalist interviewed one of the survivors and found the entire story more captivating than his interest in the Yeti and he helped to write the book.

    I didn't claim whether i believed the Yeti account to be true or not. I think that aspect of the story captivated me as a 14 year old and I wanted to read the book to get to that part but, like the reporter, I ended up finding the escape facinating. Spoiler alert for any of you Renaissance men wanting to read this book, they ate their dead to survive. The book would not have been written without someone's fascination with BigFoot.

    Slavomir Rawicz (Sławomir Rawicz) was a Polish Army lieutenant who was imprisoned by the Soviets after the German-Soviet invasion of Poland. In a ghost-written book called The Long Walk, he claimed that in 1941 he and six others had escaped from a Siberian Gulag camp and walked over 6,500 km (4,000 mi) south, through the Gobi Desert, Tibet, and the Himalayas to finally reach British India in the winter of 1942. In 2006, BBC released a report based on former Soviet records, including "statements" allegedly written by Rawicz himself, showing that Rawicz had been released as part of the 1942 general amnesty of Poles in the USSR and subsequently transported across the Caspian Sea to a refugee camp in Iran and that his escape to India never occurred.

    In May 2009, Witold Gliński, a Polish WWII veteran living in the UK, came forward to claim that the story of Rawicz was true, but was actually an account of what happened to him, not Rawicz. Gliński's claims have been questioned by various sources.

    Soviet records confirm that Rawicz was a Polish soldier imprisoned in the USSR, but differ from The Long Walk in detail on the reasons for his arrest and the exact places of imprisonment. Polish Army records show that Rawicz left the USSR directly for Iran in 1942, which contradicts the book's storyline. Aside from matters concerning his health, his arrival in Palestine is verified by the records. The story of the escape to India comes from Rawicz himself. The BBC report does mention the account of Captain Rupert Mayne, an intelligence officer in Calcutta, who - years after the war - said that in 1942 he had debriefed three emaciated men claiming to have escaped from a Siberian Gulag camp.

    Like I said. Fake news.

    Just full disclosure but there is plenty of evidence the story is true. It was a good read.
