Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption/ Laura Hillenbrand/ 528

Unbroken is the biography of Olympic runner Louis Zamperini.  Laura Hillenbrand has written an in-dept biography of Louie starting with his 'wild child' beginnings through his struggles coping after release from a Japanese POW camp.  Louie life was filled with  adventures and close calls to fill multiple lives.  The author does a good job in detailing the wretched existence for all POW's held by the Japanese during WW II.  Louie's ability to cope was tested on a daily basis.  For more information and read a-likes see the SCCCLD website.
