This is an excellent bookk covering the life of Louis Zamperini, olympic runner turned military during World War II. Louis's plane went down in the pacific where he was stationed to defend the US from the Japanese, spent over 40 days adrift in the ocean only to be rescued by the Japanese who impriosoned him for the remainder of the war. The book is very well written and reasearched and never gets bogged down with its subject or the war.
