In October 1934, the Chinese Communist Army found itself facing annihilation, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Nationalist soldiers. Rather than surrender, 86,000 Communists embarked on an epic flight to safety. Only thirty were women. Their trek would eventually cover 4,000 miles over 370 days. Under enemy fire they crossed highland swamps, climbed Tibetan peaks, scrambled over chain bridges, and trudged through the sands of the western deserts. Fewer than 10,000 of them survived, but remarkably all of the women lived to tell the tale.


Unbound is an amazing story of love, friendship, and survival written by a new master of adventure narrative.

      In UNBOUND, author Dean King provides a chronicle of the trials and tribulations faced by the handful of women who took part in the notorious Long March, during which thousands of Red Army troops traversed more than 4,000 miles of China during the period from 1934 to 1935. Historical events are described in painstaking detail--undoubtedly of interest to history buffs--but such detail can be difficult to follow in audio format, despite the fact that narrator Norman Dietz adopts an unhurried pace. Another potential struggle for those without knowledge of the Chinese language may be the difficulty of effectively distinguishing the names of peoples as well as places, since the work tends to jump around from scenario to scenario.
