Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand
26 reviews
An incredible telling of Louis Zamperini’s life. Thoroughly researched but not too detailed for a civilian to understand; a perfect balance of facts, anecdotes, and reflection to keep the reader engaged; expertly paced.
A warning that the gruesome details in this story will not be tolerated by everyone. However, ‘Unbroken’ shines an important light on the atrocities committed against POW in the Pacific Theatre during WWII. It details the struggles so many heroes faced returning from war - PTSD, alcoholism, depression. It conveys the despondency, the camaraderie, and the glimmers of hope these men felt during a time most of us couldn’t begin to fathom.
This one will stick with you. Highly, highly recommend.

Covers the story and experiences of a group of young men serving in the Pacific theater during WWII whose plane went down in the ocean-- that's event is presented in the synopsis and start of the book as the main component, and it is a substantial event/turning point in the narratives, but it also covers a good deal of some individuals' "back stories" (lives before the war) and the survivors' experiences in the years following the plane crash.
