Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
by Laura Hillenbrand
I loved this book. The story is absolutely riveting. Just when you think it can't get worse for this man, it does. And then it does again. I am not an overly religious person, but this book really makes you believe Louie Zamperini survived for some greater purpose.
The only reason I gave it 4 vs. 5 stars is that it took a little while get going and Hillenbrand sometimes goes into waaaay too much detail (in my opinion). Some of the detail about the aircraft and the missions Louie and his crew flew on just didn't appeal to me and I had to force my way through them. You could easily cut 50-75 pages out of this book and still have it be a fantastic story.
