 This is the personal account of Louis Zamperini. His childhood was really interesting, and I wonder how he would have turned out if he had not gotten into sports and the military. A lot of kids that are out running the streets and getting up to mischief find themselves going through a positive transformation once they engage in sports and other constructive outlets. It was amazing that he went from troublemaker to being able to participate in the 1936 Olympics. He became a bombardier during World War II, and eventually found himself really suffering as a prisoner of war. His determination and resilience was so inspiring to me. I loved this story. It was really, really good. I would also like to watch the film that was made about this story, Unbroken.
