A gripping true story of human endurance and the resilience of one remarkable individual during WWII from Laura Hillenbrand (author of 'Seabiscuit').

So begins one of the most extraordinary odysseys of the Second World War. The lieutenant's name was Louis Zamperini.

Driven to limits of endurance, Zamperini's fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would depend on the strength of his will...
