Unbroken

Unbroken tells the extraordinary life story of Louis Zamperini, who gained national attention as a runner in the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

During World War II, Zamperini survived a plane crash in the Pacific, drifted on a raft for weeks, and endured brutal treatment as a Japanese prisoner of war.

The book chronicles his incredible endurance, inner strength, and eventual redemption after the war, including his struggles with PTSD and his finding solace in religion.

Hillenbrand's narrative is enriched by extensive historical research and interviews with veterans and their families, providing a detailed account of the Pacific front during World War II and the personal experiences of those involved.
