The most important line of the chapter

"I knew in my heart that the war-this war- was right. If I took my hatred to support it, to win it, and most important, to get me through it alive, so be it." - Zamperini, 149

This is a very important line of the chapter because at this point of the book, he had been captured at a Japanese occupied island and sent into a P.O.W. camp where he sees where he will be living at for the next few years. The quote means that he believes the war has a soul purpose, it has a cause. He believes it is his duty to fight for it even if it means using hatred and cruel acts, but he is doing it so he can fulfill his duty and survive the harsh reality of war.
