In October 1934, the Chinese Communist Army found itself facing complete annihilation, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Nationalist soldiers. Rather than surrender, 86,000 Communists embarked on an epic journey, the likes of which had never been seen before. Their trek would eventually cover 6,000 miles over 370 days. But that's not even the most incredible part of the story: of those 86,000 who began what would become known as "The Long March," only 30 were women. Often under enemy fire, they crossed highland swamps that claimed dozens of lives; climbed treacherous Tibetan peaks; scrambled over bridges made of nothing more than chains, and trudged through the hot sands of the western deserts. Fewer than 10,000 of the original group would survive, but remarkably most of the women would live to tell the tale.
Dean King's UNBOUND tells the amazing story of these thirty women: their love, friendship, and survival. This is truly a journey like none other, told by a master of adventure narrative.

Recensione:
...tells an astonishing and gripping tale of heroism and endurance by the women on this year-long trek from south-east to north-west China...This book is a heart-stirring tribute to them, but not for the first time one is left wondering at the enigma of Chinese character. Over and over again we read of brutalities inflicted by both sides on suspected enemies, as well as bravery and compassion for comrades. Running through the tale like a scarlet thread is utter ruthlessness in the cause: women abandoning their new babies, those who can go no further willingly being left behind, enemies captured and beheaded in order to exhibit their heads on spikes. The conclusion I draw is that we should all learn and teach a great deal more Chinese history (DAILY MAIL)
