Hillenbrand, Laura. 2010. Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption. Random House.
Louie Zamperini trained hard enough to run the mile at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, but then he ended up in the midst of World War II. From there, things soon turned extremely challenging for him. His B-24 crash landed in the Pacific Ocean, where he and some of his crew endured more than a month in a raft–one surrounded by sharks. Although he survived at sea, Louie ended up as a prisoner of war, and the raft soon seemed like a palace by comparison.
The sharks, the sea and the prison haunted Louie for years.
As Hillenbrand takes you on Louie’s journey, you soon learn that this man knows how to survive. He didn’t always make the best choices and he created some of his own challenges, but he endured. He fights and fights and–in the end–he wins.
