Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
by Laura Hillenbrand
Laura Hillenbrand, the acclaimed author of the book Seabiscuit: An American Legend, brings to the page the amazing true story of Louie Zamperini in her latest book, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. After having encountered snippets of stories about Louie during her research for Seabiscuit, Hillenbrand decided to track him down and was transfixed by what he had to tell her. She then spent seven years researching his life to bring his incredible tale to us. From juvenile delinquent, Olympian, WWII bombardier, and B-24 plane crash and prisoner of war survivor, Louie’s story is inspiring and surprising. (Louie Zamperini passed away on July 2, 2014, at the age of 97).
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand is available at the Southroads Barnes and Nobles book store (41st & Yale), your local library, and other book sources.
