When they arrived in the former Soviet Union in 1993 without a decent map or guide, four Americans found themselves in the hands of ten Latvians, a fearless crew capable of running Class V and VI rivers in homemade equipment, including rafts fashioned from germ-warfare suits and life jackets made from old wine bladders and soccer balls. Depending on each other for survival, these adventurers cast aside cultural differences and found faith in each other and in themselves as they embarked on a white-knuckled trip down Siberia's Bashkaus—one of the continent's wildest rivers.
Made in USA.
