About This Item
Dutton, 1956-01-01. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Signed. Inscribed by Louis Zamperini on front end page. Stated First Edition. Hardcover and dust jacket. Tears to jacket. Dust jacket in protective mylar cover. Shelf wear. Bottom edge chipped. Pages unmarked. 251 p., portraits, 21 cm. <br> Louis Zamperini (1917-2014) was a World War II veteran and Olympic distance runner. Zamperini competed in the 1936 Berlin Olympics and was set to compete again in the 1940 games in Tokyo, which were canceled when World War II broke out. A bombardier in the Army Air Corps, Zamperini was in a plane that went down, and when he arrived on shore in Japan 47 days later, he was taken as a prisoner of war and tortured for two years. After his release, Zamperini became an inspirational figure, and his life served as the basis for the 2014 biography Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.
