Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption
by Laura Hillenbrand
This was an amazing book by the author of Seabiscuit. It's the story of Louie Zamperini, an Olympic runner whose career was cut short when he was drafted during WWII. He became a bombardier on a B-24 crew. After their plane went down during a search and rescue mission in the Pacific, he and 2 other men alone survived the crash. After 47 days at sea on a raft, and managing to survive hunger, sharks and an attack by a Japanese fighter plane, Zamperini was captured and became a POW for 2 more years. His survival story is like reading about the trials of Job. The book is very well written and the story is compelling.
