Louis Zamperini‘s resilience and fortitude is just incredible. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves nonfiction. #ww2 #pow
And so is this book...over out of nowhere, rather unexpectedly but not unpleasantly.

pickAs I suspected, I deeply enjoyed this book. It spoke of the resilience in the face of adversity, and an unlikely association that lead to a meaningful and emotionally charged discovery. Although I did suspect part of the motive behind the crime, the way it was written I was speed-reading through the end. I wonder how the movie compares? #recentlyread #nospoilers #crimefiction #POW 🤔❤️📚
pickAlthough #LouisZamperini was #unbroken during his 2 years as #POW in Japan, but he was a broken man after returning home. He was constantly haunted by his wartime experiences, especially the daily torment from the #Japanese corporal, nicknamed "The Bird." He resorted to alcohol to help him cope with these #posttraumatic #stress. But he was saved by #JesusChrist and he turned his life around. He was a #remarkable man of #faith. #awesomeread
pickI didn't feel like the photo for this book needed any bells & whistles. It's not a pretty story. This is easily one of the best #nonfiction books I've ever #read. An unbelievable story of #survival. It's amazing what a human being can endure. Highly recommend this #book.
