Growing up, Louie Zamperini was a study in defiance, but his older brother channeled Zamperini's energy into track. Within a very short time, his fierce determination took him all the way to the 1936 Olympics. Then his life, like that of his whole generation, was interrupted by Pearl Harbor. Overnight he went from athlete to Army Air Corps bombardier. And that was just the beginning of an incredible odyssey of determination and survival that forced him to draw upon every resource within himself to overcome seemingly insurmountable circumstances.
