The #1 New York Times bestseller, now in a new tie-in edition to the upcoming major motion picture directed by Harold Cronk.In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that carried him to the Berlin Olympics. Then with the start of World War II, the athlete became an airman. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion.Yet Louie's willpower faced its most trying test upon his heroic return home after the war when he grappled with PTSD, struggled to come to terms with the injustices done to him, and was ultimately set on the path of redemption by a momentous encounter with Revered Billy Graham. Unbroken is an unforgettable testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit, brought vividly to life by Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand.
