Gripping and unforgettable, Kyle's masterful account of his extraordinary battlefield experiences ranks as one of the great war memoirs of all time.

The book:
In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a
teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a
prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when
World War II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey
that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When his Army
Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds,
Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini
lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and
starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to
the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with
ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with
rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on
the fraying wire of his will.
