Summary

   Unbroken: A World War ll Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. I've heard people say this book is all about one man and his amazing run through life, but, in reality it's an amazing tale of a  journey through loss, hardships, and unbelievable experiences. From beginning to end this book keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Louie Zamperini training for the Olympics.

   Louie Zamperini is a troublesome kid, running a muck, stealing, telling wild stories, until one day his older brother, Pete, gets him to run track. Breaking record, after record, Louie has finally found his calling, prepared to break even more records he has his mind set on the Olympics. After training for months on end, the Olympics are cancelled and he joins the Air Corps. After countless missions, and one slight near death miss, Louie and his crew are forced to switch planes. (From Superman, to Green Hornet) On an attack from the enemy there engines begin to malfunction and down they go, crashing into the ocean. Three men survive, Louie being one. For 47 days they are forced to survive on minimal food and water, the occasional raw bird, or fish, and if they're lucky rain water. Louie and Phil are the only two left from the crash, found by the Japanese, now prisoners of war, they spend two years as slaves, moved to three different P.O.W. camps, separated, beaten almost daily, used as propaganda, disease ridden, and nearly dead they finally make it out. Louie, facing such horrendous situations, remained Unbroken. Forgiving every P.O.W guard, and anyone who had anything to do with the bad times, coming out the bigger man.
