This book chronicles the life of Louis Zamperini, from a young troubled child, to an olympic runner, a military bombadier, and for most of the book, an American POW in the South Pacific and Japan.
It's a long book and often troubling, but it reflects Zamperini's strength, defiance, and forgiveness. It was a very inspirational story, even just from the standpoint of physical exertion (it motivated me to walk 9 miles on the day I finished it!), but also for the message of forgiveness.
For its inspiration, it was my favorite book that I've read this year.
