This book tells Tom Hargrove's own story of his kidnapping by Colombian narco-guerrillas. Long March to Freedom is composed of the lightly edited diary entries that Tom Hargrove maintained, almost without break, for the eleven months of his captivity. Full entries were written in his Rotan, Texas, checkbook and in tow children's notebooks he was given by the guerillas. Backup entries, calendars, notes, etc. were kept on the back of blank checks from his account at the Banco Real de Colombia and on scraps of paper. - Publisher.
