Thanks for that. It's too bad that this guy didn't get a chance run official time trials like they do today. He would've easily broken 4 in high school. No doubt.

PEDs were legal in the 1930s and 1940s. Zamperini was a known drug user during that period.

Leave the "prophet" Mohammed out of this.
You stupid shit. It was the Italian grease balls who started the war when the Vatican sent the Portuguese sailors to invade Far East Asia in the 1500s. Potugal raped Taiwan, Phillipines, The Vatican and Italian people worked like hell and helped the Nazis round up the Jews in Italy, and Italy under Mussolini was Germany's ally in WWII. Plus Italians in the US had gangs and possees that slaughtered scrores of Jews, Mexicans, Asians, and Blacks from the day they arrived in the New World. So F U C K those greasy WOPS like Zamperini.
The book has many themes that are appropriate for a wide spectrum of readers - overcoming adversity, grit, the human spirit, etc... and it has sold over 1,050,000 copies, so maybe you should check it out also.

You want a look at the other side of history? Do some digging into the fate of Germans who surrendered to US forces at the end of WW2 - they were the first souls declared to be "enemey combatants" (by US Pres. Roosevelt?), therfore they were not covered by the POW conventions. This decree meant they received less rations (esentially starvation rations) and thousands died in the mud fields of Europe after they surrendered. Stephen Ambrose disagrees, but this side of the story doesn't get much mention in the mainstream. War is a terrible things. To remember is to end all war.
I did a little digging and I guess a fellow named James Bacque makes some claims that Ike intentionally starved and treated German prisoners harshly. It seems like Ambrose AND other historians dispute the claims as at least being overblown.
BTW, what does this have to do with Zamperini?

Zamperini never killed anyone. He never saw combat.
If Zamparini is still alive he should be tried and if found guilty executed for conspiracy to commit genocide in Asia. Zamparini willingly invaded Asia with the intent to commit murder. Deterrence against these criminals would have helped prevent the 1940's US aggression in South East Asia and Middle East, would have saved the millions of South East Asia and Islamic people from slaughter by US troops, and $10Trillion of US war expenditures which ended in defeat in Vietnam, Iraq, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
With the internet gen, kids aren't stupid idiots who follow retarded gov't liars like during the 1940s.

Your ignorance and lunacy is astounding. Stop listening to Coast to Coast AM.
Zamperini is still alive you moron.
Zamperini also never invaded Asia. Maybe read a little about him.
