Laura Hillenbrand

The story almost sounds like a tale out of a novel, but there’s nothing fictional about Louis Zamperini’s story. At 19 years old, he was on the road to winning an Olympic Medal, but WWII shattered his dream, and he became a bombardier instead.

Laura Hillenbrand, author of Seabiscuit, enthrallingly tells Zamperini’s
story of being lost at sea, the brutality of Japanese POW camps and his road to forgiveness in, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption.
