I’m currently reading this book. It’s a fantastic memoir about a former Olympian who goes into the Air Forces for World War II. His crew and their bomber crash land in the ocean. They get stranded for many weeks in the middle of the ocean. They start starving and getting dehydrated. Then they come across land occupied by the Japanese. Not much is known about the Japanese war crimes of World War II in the west but they were pretty heinous. Anyway Louis Zamperini, the main character, becomes a POW along with his friend and crewmate Russell Allen Phillips. The Japanese subject them to biological experiments and repeatedly try to make them lose their dignity. The book is a testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit. Louis survives and later tells his story to us. I just love books like this.
