I was very sorry to hear we’ve lost a genuine hero, Louis Zamperini, the Olympic athlete who survived a horrific ordeal at sea when his plane was shot down during WWII, only to endure even worse treatment when he was “rescued” and thrown into a Japanese POW camp. I highly recommend Unbroken by Laura Hildenbrand, who does justice to his remarkable story. It is sad that he did not live to see the Unbroken film, directed by Angelina Jolie, but he and Angelina did become good friends during its filming and, to judge by an interview I saw them do, he definitely enjoyed that!
