Listen to a sample:
Imagine fighting off shark attacks, starvation, enemy attacks,
and dehydration only to suffer years of captivity in a Japanese
internment camp. That is just part of Louis Zamperini's incredible
journey.
As a boy, he was energetic and mischievous. The future Olympic
hopeful would focus his energy and eventually capture international
attention, even meet Hitler. But WWII changed Zamperini's plotted
course with incredible speed.
In 1942, Zamperini was a second lieutenant in the United States
Army Air Force. His aircraft plummeted into the Pacific Ocean,
where he clung to life for 47 days. Immediately captured by
Japanese forces once he found land, Zamperini endured cruel
captivity until the end of the war in 1945.
From the author who brought you Seabiscuit: An American Legend, is
the greatly anticipated biography of Louis Zamperini. Author
superbly captures
Zamperini's unique story of how a rowdy boy from New York would
become an international voice for courage, survival, and
forgiveness.
