If you have not read Laura Hillenbrand's book Unbroken buy it today and read it

It is a story of man who became war hero but the story is about redemption.

Everybody should read it.

I disagree. It was interesting but not life-changing.

He definitely had it shitty during the war (huge understatement)

This guy is just amazing in so many different ways, most especially his salvation and his forgiveness of his former captors/torturers.

Sucks that Watanabe (his worst torturer) was never punished for his actions and lived a long and apparently wealthy life.

I don't doubt that Mr. Zamperini was a war hero and an admirable guy, but I downvoted this thread because your purpose here was to promote a book whose theme is the power of Christian redemption.

You know VERY WELL that if I had started a thread about Pat Tillman but my thesis was that the greatest thing about him was that he was an atheist spreading the worth of freethought and reason people such as yourself would make a beeline for the RA button, and it would get anchored or whacked.
