(audiobook version)
This is a story of resilience. I was often gasping or wiping away tears as the story of WWII Veteran and olympian Louis Zamperini was told. I was transported back in time, reliving the momentous and downright horrific moments of Zamperini's life. As much as this is a retelling of one man's journey through the hell that is war, it is als a historical retelling from the perspective of an American airmen and POW. I learned so much while also being gripped and yearning to continue the story as every chapter ended. Hillenbrand does an amazing job at bringing history and thrill together. There is never a dull moment, even when you wish for one for Zamperini's sake.
Highly recommend.
