Louis Zamperini Books in Order

Louis Zamperini is an Olympic athlete, World War II veteran, and renowned motivational speaker. Born to Italian immigrants in New York, he drew on his experiences as a target for bullies to fuel his passion for running, setting numerous records and becoming the youngest U.S. qualifier for the 1936 Berlin Olympics at age 19. Zamperini's remarkable athletic career was cut short by World War II, where he served as a second lieutenant and bombardier, surviving a plane crash and 47 days in an inflated raft with no food. After being taken prisoner by the Japanese for two years, Zamperini dedicated his life to Christ and became a prominent motivational speaker, helping troubled youth and inspiring millions through his story, immortalized in Laura Hillenbrand's book "Unbroken: A WWII Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption".
