What transforms a juvenile delinquent into an Olympic athlete, then a war hero, and finally a beacon of forgiveness? Louis Zamperini's journey began in the most unlikely place-stealing from neighborhood kitchens and rigging pay phones in 1920s California. Born to Italian immigrants, young Louie was everything his brother Pete wasn't: unruly, defiant, constantly in trouble. He'd sell stolen scrap metal back to its original owners, rob bakeries, and always end up "running like mad" from his victims. His father's spankings did nothing. Teachers despaired. The town whispered comparisons to his responsible older brother. But Pete saw something others missed-that same speed that helped Louie escape consequences could become his salvation. After Louie was banned from school activities for lockpicking, Pete convinced the principal to let his brother join the track team. What followed wasn't instant transformation but grueling work-Pete riding behind on a bicycle, whacking Louie with a stick when he slowed. Yet something shifted. Running became more than escape; it became freedom. By 1934, Louie shattered the national high school mile record, earning the nickname "Torrance Tornado." At nineteen, he qualified for the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where his final-lap sprint was so spectacular that Hitler himself took notice.
