Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand
Louis Zamperini went from delinquent to olympic runner. But when World War II started, the athlete became an airman. In 1943, when his bomber crashed in the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, he survived, adrift at sea in a life raft. What lay ahead for Zamperini was unimaginable. Driven to the limit of endurance, his fate would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will. This book is now a major motion picture!
