An incredible story of Louis Zamperini and his fellow POWs and the horrendous things they endured as POWs in Japan’s camps during WW2. So much resilience in the midst of a massive amount of suffering and mistreatment.

I’ve read a few stories from that side of the war but not to the extent and detail as was told in this book. The ending was also beyond remarkable, and I love how the author explained what happened after the war with both the men and the Japanese captors. Most of the time in war-specific books, the story ends when everyone comes home but there is so much more that happens in real life, that this really fleshed it out for me.
