Zamperini's story has touched millions through Laura Hillenbrand's biography \u003cem\u003eUnbroken\u003c\/em\u003e, soon to be a major motion picture directed by Angelina Jolie. Now, in his own words, Louis Zamperini reveals, with warmth and great charm, the essential values and lessons that sustained him throughout his remarkable journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe was a youthful troublemaker from California who turned his life around to become a 1936 Olympian and a world-class miler at the University of Southern California. Putting aside his superstar track career, Louis Zamperini volunteered for the army before Pearl Harbor and was thrust into the violent combat of World War II as a B-24 bombardier. While on a rescue mission, his plane went down in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where he survived, against all odds, drifting two thousand miles in a small raft for forty-seven days. His struggle was only beginning: Zamperini was captured by the Japanese and, for more than two years, he courageously endured torture and psychological abuse in a series of prisoner-of-war camps. He returned home to face more dark hours, but in 1949 Zamperini's life was transformed by a spiritual rebirth that would guide him through the next sixty-five years of his long and happy life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCowritten with longtime collaborator David Rensin, Louis Zamperini's \u003cem\u003eDon't Give Up, Don't Give In\u003c\/em\u003e is an extraordinary last testament that captures the wisdom of a life lived to the fullest. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150628864240,"sku":"2940170342044","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170342044_p0.jpg?v=1763798128","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170342044","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
