"Champion. Survivor. Hero. Legend. Completed just two days before Louis Zamperini's death at age 97, Don't Give Up, Don't Give In shares a lifetime of wisdom, insight, and humor from one of America's most inspiring lives. Zamperini's story has touched millions through Laura Hillenbrand's biography Unbroken, soon to be a major motion picture directed by Angelina Jolie. Now, in his own words, Louis Zamperini reveals, with warmth and great charm, the essential values and lessons that sustained him throughout his remarkable journey. He was a youthful troublemaker from California who turned his life around to become a 1936 Olympian and a world-class miler at the University of Southern California. Putting aside his superstar track career, Louis Zamperini volunteered for the army before Pearl Harbor and was thrust into the violent combat of World War II as a B-24 bombardier. While on a rescue mission, his plane went down in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where he survived, against all odds, drifting two thousand miles in a small raft for forty-seven days. His struggle was only beginning: Zamperini was captured by the Japanese and, for more than two years, he courageously endured torture and psychological abuse in a series of prisoner-of-war camps. He returned home to face more dark hours, but in 1949 Zamperini's life was transformed by a spiritual rebirth that would guide him through the next sixty-five years of his long and happy life. Cowritten with longtime collaborator David Rensin, Louis Zamperini's Don't Give Up, Don't Give In is an extraordinary last testament that captures the wisdom of a life lived to the fullest. A son of Italian immigrants, Louis Zamperini (1917-2014) was a U.S. Olympic runner, World War II bombardier, and POW survivor. After the war, he returned to the United States to found the Victory Boys Camp for at-risk youth and became an inspirational speaker. Zamperini's story was told in his 2003 autobiography Devil at My Heels, as well as.;In Laura Hillenbrand's 2010 biography Unbroken. David Rensin worked closely with Louis Zamperini for many years and cowrote Devil at My Heels, as well as fifteen other books, including five New York Times bestsellers"--;CO-AUTHOR'S NOTE -- PREFACE / by ANGELINA JOLIE -- RUN FOR YOUR LIFE -- The Family Rules -- Anyone Can Turn Their Life Around -- The Difference Between Attention and Recognition is Self-Esteem -- It's Not How You Win, It's How You Lose -- A Race Isn't Over Until It's Over -- BE PREPARED -- Preparation Determines Your Survival -- My Survival Kit -- Keep Your Mind Sharp -- Don't Forget to Laugh -- Trust Your Instincts -- DON'T GIVE UP, DON'T GIVE IN -- You Are the Content of Your Character -- Never Let Anyone Destroy Your Dignity -- Hate is a Personal Decision -- The True Definition of Hero -- ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING -- You Must Have Hope -- Don't Ask Why, Ask What's Next -- You Choose How to View Your Fate -- The Secret of Contentment -- AFTER THE WAR : STILL LOST -- You Can't Run (or Sail) Away From Yourself -- Don't Leave the Crucial Details to Others -- THERE'S ALWAYS AN ANSWER TO EVERYTHING -- You Need a Cloud to Have a Silver Lining -- Know When You've Done All You Can Do -- The Gangster and the Gospel -- GIVE BACK -- It Takes a Camp to Help a Child -- First You Listen -- Get Their Attention -- Accomplishment is the Key to Self-Respect -- My Private Reward -- The Mission That Never Ends -- WHAT I'VE LEARNED -- Always Challenge Yourself -- Learn to Adapt -- Commitment and Perseverance Pay Off -- You're Only as Old as You Feel -- Free Advice -- LESSONS OF THE OLYMPIC SPIRIT -- It's About People -- You've Got to Train to Carry a Torch -- Forgiveness is the Healing Factor -- REMEMBER ME THIS WAY -- A Charitable Heart.
