Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand

An unbelievable (true) story of Louie Zamperini - who almost became the fastest one mile runner, shook hands with Adolf Hitler, air-fought successfully against Japan, got stranded on a raft (with Phil) in the middle of Pacific Ocean for almost 2 months (during which time he was declared dead), saw the doldrums, became POW in Japan, got beaten up almost unto death for almost 2 years with next-to-nothing food, got released and then outlived every other person who thought he was initially dead, and even went on to run in Japan when he was almost a nonagenarian.
