Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner who later survived the brutality of a Japanese prison of war camp after his bomber crashed in the Pacific, has died at age 97. Zamperini’s life story was chronicled in the best-seller Unbroken and a film based on the book is set to be released in December. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/07/03/328077931/olympian-wwii-hero-louis-zamperini-dies-at-97
