If you've read Unbroken, then chances are you're going to want to read Don't Give Up, Don't Give In too. Readers learn more: more about his childhood, more about his training and running, more about the war years--his service, his time adrift, his imprisonment, his survival--more about what happened after the war--before and after his conversion. It brings readers up to date, completes his life story. (In fact, the manuscript was finished just days before Louis Zamperini's death.) And it has a more personal, more intimate feel. I would definitely recommend it.
Don't Give Up, Don't Give In is more than an autobiography. It is packed with advice for readers of all ages.

Mr. Zamperini was quite a hero, I found this book and Unbroken both fascinating. However, I maintain that "Unbroken" is a misnomer. He was quite a "broken" man when he returned from the war, and it was only by the grace of God through Christ that Mr. Zamperini was able to be "mended" and unbroken, as I think he would agree.
