A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
From the 1936
Olympics to WWII Japan's most brutal POW camps, Hillenbrand's heart-wrenching
book is thousands of miles and a world away from the racing circuit of her
bestselling Seabiscuit. But it's just
as much a page-turner, and its hero, Louie Zamperini, is just as loveable: a
disciplined champion racer who ran in the Berlin Olympics, he's a wit, a
prankster, and a reformed juvenile delinquent who put his thieving skills to
good use in the POW camps. The award winning 2014 film adaptation was
directed by Angelina Jolie
