Summary:
Enduring the perils of World War II, Zamperini continued to find adventure at every turn, from crashing weddings to facing down Frank Sinatra in a fight to getting mixed up in a bank robbery. Until his death at 97 he remained undaunted, happy, sharp-minded, and healthy, and continued to engage life to its fullest.
