| General Note |
- General note - Olympian Louis Zamperini faced incredible challenges as he survived forty-seven days at sea on a raft and two years as a Japanese P.O.W. Afterwards he had to face a greater challenge - overcoming his rage and bringing himself to forgive. - Roderick Hall
|
| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Personal account by an American Olympian runner, member of a B-24 crew which crashed in May 1943 south of Hawaii. He managed to survive a month and a half at sea, only to be captured by the Japanese, spending the next two years as a prisoner of war in various POW camps in the Pacific and Japan (not in the Philippines).
He describes the difficulties of POW life, including threats of execution, before being liberated at the end of the war. Zamperini continues his account into the post war years, where he battled to forget his hatred and instead learn to forgive his captors. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
