Synopsis: ???An extraordinary story of war and a touching tale of the triumph of love.??? -James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers Devil at My Heels is the riveting, astonishing, and inspirational memoir of one of the greatest of the Greatest Generation: U.S. Olympian, World War II bombardier, Japanese POW, and survivor Louis Zamperini. His story of courage and resilience is so extraordinary that Lauren Hillebrand, author of Seabiscuit, made it the subject of her acclaimed bestseller, Unbroken. But Devil at My Heels is Zamperinis remarkable personal history in his own words-a gripping, first-hand account of every trial, torment, escape, and remarkable triumph-with an introduction by Senator John McCain, himself a former Air Force flyer and prisoner of war.
