In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a youngster, he channeled his defiance into working, discovering a prodigious expertise that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War II started, the athlete turned 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, in opposition to all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay hundreds of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and hunger, enemy plane, and, past, a trial even higher. Driven to the bounds of endurance, Zamperini would reply desperation with ingenuity; struggling with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rise up. His destiny, whether or not triumph or tragedy, can be suspended on the fraying wire of his will.
