From the Back Cover
CHAMPION. SURVIVOR. HERO. LEGEND.“A fitting capstone to the Zamperini legend.”—USA Today“Brims with sage wisdom.”—Kirkus ReviewsCompleted just two days before Louis Zamperini’s death at age ninety-seven, Don’t Give Up, Don’t Give In shares a lifetime of wisdom, insight, and humor from “one of the most incredible American lives of the past century” (People). Zamperini’s story has touched millions through Laura Hillenbrand’s biography Unbroken and its blockbuster movie adaptation directed by Angelina Jolie. Now, in his own words, 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. Putting aside his track career, he volunteered for the army before Pearl Harbor and was thrust into 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. 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.

I had heard of Louis Zamperini from his affiliation with the Billy Graham organization because my Mother admired Reverend Graham. But I did not dig into his life story. Of course the biography and movie “Unbroken†put this fine man in the public eye in a very prominent way. I wanted to read HIS words, so I got this book. While I admired the movie, I was disappointed that it focused only on his story as a prisoner of war after being lost at sea. I think the really important part of his life was his struggles after he came home and then his conversion to Christ. Of course, that makes our age most uncomfortable. But without that, he would have been just a brave POW who came home and fell apart with drink (as my grandfather did after WWI) and was destroyed by PTSD (which they called battle fatigue or some such). All the Olympics and his war experiences became significant because of his conversion and the way he used his life and experiences to bless, motivate, teach, and lead others – especially troubled youth. He understood troubled youth because he was one himself.This book tells the various stories from his life, but with the purpose of illustrating points he wants to make to help people live better, happier, more positive lives. He never holds himself up as a paragon to emulate, but uses his stories to illustrate what he did wrong, what is possible, and how he found the right way and used that path to help others with the message that you can, too!He talks about the focus, strength, and lessons that running gave his life and what appearing in the Olympics meant for him. He talks about the importance of being prepared for what life throws at you, because you won’t be able to anticipate it all. And you need a sense of humor, as well. A positive attitude each day will provide the power to get through dark times.The lessons of his horrible war experiences are critical. He teaches about the power of not giving in, but also in learning to not hate. That hating is self-punishment and forgiveness is freeing and healing. The secret to life, he teaches us, isn’t the events or circumstances you have but your attitude towards them. After the war, he was still lost. But there is a way and an answer for everything. Of course, many times people will not accept the answer or follow the way. And then they mistakenly believe there aren’t answers and there is no way.He ends the books with several beautiful chapters on how we can bless our lives by giving, what he’s learned, what he believes the Olympic Spirit is, and how he wants to be remembered and encourages us to have a charitable heart.A very nice little book.Reviewed by Craig Matteson, Saline, MI
Great follow up to his previous work via Devils on my Heel or Unbroken. Easy read. Book size (physically) is about 2/3 the size of a regular book, so even though it has 230 pages it's more like 125 pages if it were a regular size book. [It's the shape of square versus a rectangular book] Still, it's great to hear the last words and testimony of Louis before his passing. Great life lessons because he takes the reader into the internal thought process as he is going through the adverse moments. I would compare this to Viktor Frankl's: Man's Search for Meaning.
Read this after Devil at My Heels."This second memoir, dictated to co-writer Rensin during the last year of the author’s life, brims with sage wisdom, learned advice and fond observations from his adventurous 97 years. Zamperini answers the most recurring questions asked of him during book signings and lectures, mostly pertaining to his adventures after his service in World War II, his secret to living honorably and what role his faith in God played. The author weaves practical advice into anecdotes on his parents, his troubled adolescence, his post-military spiritual connection with Billy Graham, and how his affinity for distance running on an Olympic level honed enough mental discipline to endure and survive the sadistic torture of a Japanese POW camp and the PTSD that followed. The author also provides robust wilderness survival tips, which saved his life while adrift on a life raft in the Pacific Ocean and during his service as a U.S. Army Air Force bombardier. Certainly, his counsel is often platitudinous (exercise forgiveness, challenge yourself, be positive, and give back), but it’s also inspirational, and his words will offer a reflective refresher course for those receptive to it. Never boastful yet full of prideful personality, Zamperini’s tireless zest manifested in his later years with speaking engagements and collaboration with the Angelina Jolie–produced film adaptation of Lauren Hillenbrand’s best-selling book Unbroken (2010), based on his astonishing, fruitful life. Stuffed with bolstering, life-affirmative reinforcement, Zamperini’s legacy lives on through words and film, embodied best by a photograph of the nonagenarian skillfully riding a skateboard."
Louis was a true example of courage. I can't imagine how a person that goes through what he experienced has so much positivity to spread.The book is about how the experience he lived as POW impacts his choices and how he channels the negative energy into positive acts after he is released. If you are looking for a book about his journey during war, this is not the book you want to read. This book is only about some of his experiences after the war is finished.
Great book. Louie faced many obstacles in his long life and this book reminds the reader that it's how we face these challenges that make us who we are. This book is both inspiring and reassuring that "if you can take it, you can make it." "Without dark clouds, there could be no silver linings." Louie embraced life . . . all of it. And what a life he had because he accepted his circumstances, good and bad, and grew from them throughout his 97 years--always learning, always experiencing and never holding back. Perhaps the best part of the book is about the importance of forgiveness; how forgiveness liberates the person harmed. I highly recommend this book, especially on the eve of a new year; the chance for new beginnings.
