This book is quite possibly the best non-fiction book I have ever read. It truly is (as the book cover says) a story of survival, resilience, and redemption. I could hardly believe the terrible way Louis Zamperini and other POW's were treated in prison camps in Japan during WWII. Louis' was just an amazing person and the story was so well written by Laura Hillenbrand that it was easy to read. Finishing this book just a few days before Veterans Day has given me a renewed feeling of gratitude for all members of our military--past and present.
