Louis Zamperini was an Olympic runner who competed in Berlin in 1936. In 1943 his bomber went down in the Pacific, and he survived forty-seven days on a raft before being picked up by the Japanese navy.
What followed was two years in prison camps under a guard who singled him out, and then a much longer struggle after the war with what it had done to him. Hillenbrand reconstructs it from interviews with Zamperini and the men who were there.
