Abstract
The Long March remains an untold story. This is so despite the existence of these four book-length studies that make a serious effort to recount that heroic tale of adventure first offered to an English-language audience by Edgar Snow in 1938. Even though there are also many other books and articles that try to deal with all or part of this epic military retreat, a complete picture continues to elude us. Instead, we have the blurred photo that is the Long March myth.
